Mai, one can is enough for 2 layers, because you have to heat it a little it has to be soft enough to spread it.

You are right June, you have to let it cool so it thickens, we eat it with ice-cream too, or with creps or simple cookies.  There is a simple "cake" that we do for Christmas and we shape it into a log, we use "Maria" cookies, simple cookies with little sugar, and we attach them with "dulce de leche" one after the other, when finished we give it the shape of an S, then covered it with chocolate frosting and decorate it like a log, it is a fast, simple and delicious dessert to make. You have to cut it diagonaly.  When needed I´ll try Goreti's link, much much faster.

 I tried the boil in the can method..... way too tedious. Took like 45-50 min & it still wasn't thick enough for me. Then like Goreti,  I googled cause I thought there has to be a easier way. Now I do what was on G's link. Plop it into a pan and cook till thick.   No one in my family is crazy about this except my hubby. But not on/in cake, but on ice cream. Everyone else says it is too sweet. My Mom use to make this, and we had it pored onto angel food cake.  :o)

I feel lots of Dulce de Leche coming on around the world!

Thanks for the tip Goreti I´ll check it, it´s better 15 min. that 50 min.  The longer you leave it the thicker it gets.  =0)

YW Katy.  The dulce de Leche cost more than 2x the condensed milk so I may be trying this myself.

That is a super useful tip Goreti, thanks from me!  I'll remember that when Tesco are out of the caramel.

Just read this on another site that you can do the "Dulce de Leche" using sweetened condensed milk in about 15 minutes.  Here is the link for the directions:  http://cakecentral.com/t/52808/caramel-from-condensed-milk-in-15-mi...

Mai, don't know if you can get this where you are, but this is what Luz' can of carnation will end up looking like.  We can buy it here already done - (England)

Thanks Luz for the tip... So one can's enough to fill two layers, or just one layer?
