Instructions

1-First, take 1 can (396 grams) of sweetened condensed milk, remove the label, and make sure it’s sealed with no dents. Place the sealed can fully submerged in water inside your Instant Pot, filling the pot so the can is covered by at least an inch of water. This step is crucial for even cooking and safety.

2-Next, set your Instant Pot to high pressure and cook for 35 minutes. Once the time is up, turn off the pressure and let it release naturally, which takes about 20-30 minutes. After that, let the can cool completely in the water for several hours to avoid any accidents before you open it.

3-Stir the cooled dulce de leche for a smooth texture, and you’re ready to enjoy. The total preparation time is about 5 minutes, with 35 minutes of cooking and around 4 hours of resting. This method makes a rich and creamy dulce de leche Instant Pot dessert that’s versatile for various uses.
