I guess it's really a form of dulce de leche with chocolate, but somehow 'chocolate crack' seems to describe my addiction to it. I learned to make it from a Brazilian friend, so whenever I come across a can of sweetened condensed milk, I find myself making this without being aware of it. It's so decadent, it makes an easy sort of fondue for dipping fruit, crackers or whatever you come up with!
Real dulce de leche is made from milk and sugar and takes hours. This technique is far faster, and is way easier.
TPCs Chocolate Crack- the Spontaneous Snack
These are approximate measurements:
1 small can sweetened condensed milk
2 T of butter
Small handful of chocolate chips, to taste. The picture is actually has more than I generally use, but it really doesn't matter, it's even good without them.
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter and add the milk. Bring to a simmer and add the chocolate chips until it's as chocolatey as you want it. Lower the heat, and let it simmer until it starts to tighten up. Turn off the heat, and what my friend does is pour it onto a lightly buttered plate to cool, but I just pour it into a ramekin. It will become like caramel, gooey and decadent.
Oh man, it's so good. You're going to hate me for posting this.
You talkin' to me?
Yep. :©)
Simply more evidence that the Pragmatic Chef is pure evil.
No, Julie, I come from a happy place, where we're all thin and we can eat whatever we want whenever we want.
In my mind, at least.
