The "CH" (which is actually considered a letter in its own right in the Spanish alphabet) gives you the "ch" sound.MMSandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804136231299861659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-47301221841334006592015-02-02T21:17:13.788-05:002015-02-02T21:17:13.788-05:00Hi Chef John I tried the Creme Caramel recipe and ...Hi Chef John I tried the Creme Caramel recipe and it was absolutely delicious!!!

And, reiterating a comment made obviously by a fellow Latin American fan, the correct pronounciation of this sinful deliciousness is "dool-say" de leche. The pronounciation "dohl-chay" is for the Italian word "dolce", which means "sweet" as well. In Peru we call it a more romantic name: "manjarblanco" (pron. "mahn-hahr-blahn-coe") which means "white delicacy". This name may be a derivate of "blancmange", the British custard. But it is not the same as our manjarblanco is just milk with sugar, cooked until caramelized.

It's pretty much a graham cracker crust, toffee (dulce de leche style), banana, and whipped cream. It's delicious and only slightly overly sweet.<br /><br />The way I cook my milk is very similar. Punch a hole in the top. Lay a small piece of wax paper on top. Put it in a water bath in a slow cooker on low for 8 hrs. You never need to check the water level, and you don't get clumps on the bottom. You can leave it unattended and go about your day. Nothing is easier.MDeStefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13968592849831993557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-31594570301806889122011-10-05T04:11:16.500-04:002011-10-05T04:11:16.500-04:00No idea what you are referring to, but this is tot...No idea what you are referring to, but this is totally safe.

Is it heated in the can more for cleanliness and less hard work?

It's eaten A LOT thicker than you made it (usually just pure like that) although your thin version makes a nice sauce I suppose.<br /><br />You can make it from just sugar and milk (never heard of baking soda or vanilla in it, but regional differences I suppose), but it's very labor-intensive; you have to keep stirring to avoid burns, as well as avoid the milk from boiling over, so basically you're grounded for like an hour or more. You'll see the milk-with-sugar transform into 'condensed milk', then into your thin caramel sauce to eventually end up with the 'dulce de leche'.sirdanilotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-24149828275968886932010-02-04T04:18:47.786-05:002010-02-04T04:18:47.786-05:00"Pour it on people"...priceless.
