Classic Dulce De Leche

• 2 cans of of sweetened, condensed milk, each 395 grams
• 2 vanilla bean pods
• sea salt, to taste

1. Start by preheating the oven to 220 C. Pour the two cans of condensed milk into a baking dish.
2. Next add the vanilla bean paste, as well as a sprinkle of sea salt. Swirl the paste through the condensed milk, until it is blended through.
3. Place the dish in a second, larger dish. Fill the large baking dish with water until it is halfway up the first, smaller dish.
4. Cover the small dish with foil. Pop it into the oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, taking care to check on it at least once or twice in case the water needs to be refilled.
5. Remove the dish from the oven when the caramel is a beautiful golden brown, and whisk the caramel quickly until it is smooth. And that's it! Store in sterilized containers in the fridge, although I guarantee that it won't be around for long! A rich, delicious treat that is equally amazing slathered over cookies or mixed through vanilla bean ice cream. Easily 1000000 x better than dulce de leche out of a can!
