Dulce de Leche with Biscochitos Dippers

Just a quick one, but I wanted to share this brilliant little cookie dipper that I came up with for my class I gave on Wednesday.  I was teaching an easy Cinco de Mayo party menu, the menu included pulled pork tacos, refried bean bake, Spanish rice, salsa & chips, beergaritas  and these cookies.

Dulce de leche is a carmelized sweetened milk, literally.  I learned how to make this from my stepdaughter, who learned the technique while living in Panama.  It couldn’t be easier…simmer a can of sweetened condensed milk forever…okay not forever, only 2 to 4 hours depending on the depth of carmelization you want, this one went for about 3 hours.

I took my regular biscochitos recipe, shaped them into rectangles versus rounds, and poured the dulce de leche in colorful shot glasses for individual servings.  The subtle bacon and rum flavor are a perfect foil for the sweetness of the dulce de leche.  The best part is that you can double, triple or quadruple the dipping because you aren’t sharing.

How fun is that?  Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
