Dulce de Leche

1 litre milk
130g sugar
120g brown sugar
200g cream
1/2 teaspoon bicarb

Place all in THX and program 50 mins, Temp Varoma Speed 5. Place basket on lid to allow it to evaporate without spitting.
When finished, quickly pour into jar and leave it to cool. When it cools it will be nice and thick. Keep in the fridge.

Can be used on cakes or as filling, or on pancakes.

Or perhaps just for eating from the jar with a spoon? ;D

I made a real fool of myself once when a husband and wife came in with four children and it looked like she was expecting.  I said something like Toxoplasmosis is a concern with a women in your condition.  Husband rolled on the floor in hysterics - Mrs was not so impressed, but kept coming to the clinic.  :-[ :-[ :-[

Can someone explain to me how this mixture becomes thick on cooling without eggs or flour in it please.

It's mainly just thru evaporation of water from the mix - think stock boiling down to a demi-glace then firm jelly when it cools.  You see the jars of veal glaze - same thing - evaporation.

Toffee and caramel are 2 other examples.

Thanks Thermomixer, I like to know why things work.  It isn't that I am a disbeliever, I just want to know how! This dish is on my list of things to do tomorrow, it has certainly sparked some interest on the forum, along with banoffee pie which I will be making out of it too.

I am probably worse than you could ever be at wanting to know how/why things work.  There is a book by Howard McGee "On Food and Cooking"  Really good scientific explanations for what is happening at the microscopic level.  There is a great explanation for what happens with cookiing custrads - different styles - egg yolks vs whole eggs vs adding flour/cornflour and how the molecules bind.
