Here are the ingredients and instructions for making a homemade dulce de leche argentina

Ingredients
10 cups of whole milk, 2.5 liters. (With this amount you will get about 500 ml of dulce de leche, by evaporation)
1 pinch baking soda
2- ¾ cup or 550 grams of sugar
½ cup of cream, or 120 ml
1 vanilla pod scraped or 2 teaspoons or 10ml of vanilla extract

Instructions
-Turn the stove on to low heat, and then choose a large pot where you will prepare the dulce de leche. The pot should have a thick bottom and high walls. Pour all the milk, cream, vanilla, baking soda, and sugar into the pot.

-Stir with a hand mixer until the sugar dissolves.

-Cook over low heat, uncovered for about an hour. No need to stir now. You will only notice that the milk took on a subtle light-yellow color.

-Continue cooking one more hour, you will notice that the mixture begins to take a light beige color. No need to stir.

-After the first two and a half hours have passed. You should start stirring, without stopping, until you achieve the desired consistency. Prevent the dulce de leche from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

-To know if the dulce de leche has the ideal consistency, you should try it on a cold plate. Place a plate in the refrigerator when you start making the dulce de leche. When you see that the mixture begins to turn brown, take a tablespoon of dulce de leche, and spread it on the plate. If the dulce de leche doesn't come together again, it's ready.

-When the dulce de leche has the desired point, turn off the stove, wait for it to cool down a bit, and store it in a clean, dry glass jar.

Enjoy!

I asked Chat GPT how dolce de leche is eaten and I got this answer:

"Dulce de leche is a sweet caramel-like sauce made from condensed milk. It can be enjoyed in various ways: spread on toast or crackers, drizzled over ice cream, used as a filling for pastries, or *simply eaten by the spoonful* . It adds a rich, sweet flavor to desserts and snacks."

The one in bold letters is my favourite. I'll do it as _postre_ (dessert) or when I need a quick snack.
