Dulce de leche is a caramel-like sauce that is a staple of Argentine cuisine. It is made by slowly heating sweetened milk and sugar until it thickens and takes on a rich, caramel flavor. The dish is used as a topping for ice cream, cakes, and other desserts, and is also used as a filling for cookies, pastries, and other confections. In Argentina, it is an essential ingredient in many traditional recipes, and is considered a symbol of the country's national identity. Dulce de leche is made by combining sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and heating the mixture over low heat for several hours, stirring frequently to prevent it from scorching. The end result is a thick, rich, and creamy sauce that is sweet, sticky, and bursting with flavor.
