Dulce de leche cortada is one of the classic old fashioned Venezuelan desserts that I grew up with. It is also popular in Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

Keyword: dulce de leche cortada
Servings: 8 portions
Ingredients
  • 2 liters whole milk
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 2 lime (juice and zest)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 cloves
  • 1 tbsp rum (optional)
  • Raisins (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a big pot, pour the milk with the lime juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes until clumps start to form.
  2. Take the pot to the stove and take the milk to a boil. Add the sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, lime zest, rum, and raisins. Stir slowly to don’t break the clumps. Let the curdled milk reduce for 40 - 60 minutes.
  3. Take the dulce de leche cortada out of the stove when the liquid has become caramel and the clumps are slightly golden. Serve!
