Instructions
Open 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk and cover each one tightly with tin foil.
Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and set the foil-wrapped cans on top.
Carefully pour water into the pot until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cans. This step ensures even heating during the pressure cooking process.
Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook at high pressure for 35 minutes. It may take about 30 minutes to reach the right pressure due to the amount of water in the pot.
When the cooking time ends, use a quick release. Open the lid carefully, as both steam and cans will be very hot. Always use tongs and a towel or hot pad for safety.
Allow the cans to cool on a rack before opening.
The dulce de leche can now be served with fruit or used in recipes.
