The ingredients in Brons is different to Tenina's (FFS)....has anyone made both for a comparison?

Hi Maddy,

I just made Tenina's version tonight. I previously made Bron's version about 12 months ago. I remember that Bron's recipe yielded the most amazing dulce de leche that I couldn't stop eating.
As for Tenina's, I was a little disappointed (sorry). The flavour was not as rich despite having more flavours/ingredients, it had a sickly sweet taste (almost cheap tasting). I think it was the golden syrup. I also used coconut palm sugar (similar to rapadura), so not sure if that made a difference. I didn't make the hazelnut spread that goes with it.

I also seem to remember that Bron's yielded more. I'm going to try again in the next week, as I'm hoping to make jars of it for wedding favours (fingers crossed I don't go crazy doing it). I figure I should be able to make it all at least a few months before the wedding if I can/preserve it properly - going to run a few trials - any tips appreciated!!

Just wanted to say that DH forgot to bring home the milk so I used a UHT soy from the cupboard. It worked nicely though the scent in the room as it was cooking was not the greatest. Delish!

Good enough reason to make this delicious recipe Bedlam, it takes a while to get around to making everything.

I've just made this without the bicarb as i didn't have any - it still seems to be absolutely delish!  What is the bicarbonate to do?
DH enjoyed the "caramel milk" made at the end too.

Just found this for you explaining why you add bi-carb  ;)
"1 tsp baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) -- this is needed for a complete browning-- it lowers the pH and prevents milk proteins from coagulating (bunching up). The browning is not caramelization -- it is a Maillard reaction which requires the addition of a base. If you do not add baking soda the sauce will still thicken and taste wonderful, but the full potential of the sauce will be lost."

Hi Bron,
I recently made the Dulce de Leche in my new Thermomix and it turned out wonderfully. The first 3 times I made it with long life milk and long life cream. These are for pressies in a hamper for Christmas! Yum!
Anyway, I had to make another one and this time used fresh milk and long life cream, same measurements and so on for everything else and it turned out very very thick - unpourable almost and nearly solid.
I did put all the ingredients in and was wondering if the outside temperature can affect how this recipe turns out.
I am wondering if I have made a really silly mistake or if this sometimes happens?

Is it possible to make this more creamy/runny by putting it back in the tmx and perhaps adding a bit more milk? Any thoughts?
Thanks (New to TMX)  :)

Yes, i have to admit that sometimes it is thicker than others.
To be honest, when i make it I am vigilant, as i think it depends on the milk and room temp
Generally ALL milk in Spain is long life, so i normally make it with longlife semi, however having said that you should be able to make it with all milk.
I have on a few ocassions, added more milk, 50-100 mls and programmed a further 5 mins, keeping a watchful eye.
And in future, perhaps program 45 mins and check, to see whether it needs that extra 5 mins
Good luck
