How to Make Instant Pot Dulce de Leche?

Rather than make this on the stove top, cooking it for 7 hours, you can easily make it in your Instant Pot in less than half the time. Follow the steps below!

Step 1

Open the can of sweetened condensed milk. Cover the can tightly with aluminum foil

Step 2

Place in the instant pot on the trivet.

Step 3

Fill up the instant pot with water to cover the can halfway.

Step 4

Close the instant pot and close the seal. Select “manual, high pressure” for 35 minutes. Due to the amount of water, it will take about 30 minutes to arrive to pressure.

Step 5

Once it is done cooking, release the pressure using a hot pad or towel as steam will be hot.

Remove the can from the instant pot using tongs. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Cool and then serve! This Instant Pot Dulce De Leche is Delicious with apples, ice cream, or my favorite, by itself by the spoonful!
