Today I partnered with Got Milk  to bring you this yummy recipe!

For a long time dulce de leche for me was not that one that looks like caramel, it was this kind: curdled milk dessert. My mom used to make it a lot and it was one of those desserts I asked for constantly.

This curdled milk dessert is not common but I think it represents our culture very well so I made it a long time ago as a gift for one of my sisters in law. She really liked it and recently she asked if I had made it again but no, it’s been a while!

Since Thanksgiving is coming up I decided to make this and I will take it for our Thanksgiving dinner. We usually have an intimate dinner at my father in law’s and adding the extra latin dish is something I love to do!
This dessert is only made with milk, sugar and lime. It’s not necessary to serve a big portion because it’s very sweet so I thought it would be perfect for after Thanksgiving dinner which is usually a lot! It’s easy to make but it just takes time to cook (about 2 hours so plan ahead).

As you know the California Milk Processor Board has the new campaign Milk Fuels a Better Future campaign, so I found it a great fit to create this dessert filled with milk that will make the kiddos healthy and strong so they can enjoy the future.

CURDLED MILK DESSERT

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of milk
• 1 1/2 cups and 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 tablespoon of lime juice
• Peel of 1 lime

Directions:

1. Place the milk and the sugar on a pot on high heat and let it boil (watch it closely or it might bubble out of the pot!)
2. Add the lime peel and lime juice and stir, let it boil for about 5 minutes and then simmer without a lid for about 2 hours
3. Watch it and stir it occasionally
4. If you want it darker, let it sit for longer time
