Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Maple extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and dark brown sugar.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring to avoid scorching. Cook the mixture for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, maple extract, and a pinch of salt.
Allow the spread to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.
Let the spread cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and bring to room temperature before using for a smoother consistency.
