The best dulce de leche desserts in Toronto are a great alternative to inhaling the popular sweet straight from the jar.
Made from cooked sweetened condensed milk, dulce de leche is in a league of its own in Latin American countries. It eclipses chocolate and cookie spreads and comes ahead of jams and jellies in popularity and usage, finding its way into every kind of sweet, baked good and pastry imaginable. Eaten at breakfast, with coffee and as part of celebrations, few ingredients are as ubiquitous in Hispanic households as delicious dulce de leche. Whether it fills donuts or cookies, is used as a dip for churros or a mix-in for cakes, dulce de leche lends a buttery caramel flavour unlike anything else.
Whether you grew up on the sweet stuff or it's something new, try Toronto's top dulce de leche desserts and you'll soon understand the fuss. Each one is unique and every mouthful a delight. Eat some dulce de leche with a churro instead of a spoon, and you might never turn back.
