Add the evaporated milk, heavy cream or whipping cream, vanilla extract and the keto sweetener you prefer (xylitol or allulose) to the pan, and place it over medium-high heat to bring it to a boil. Stir as the mixture gently boils, or vigorously simmers. It will slowly thicken, and reach the condensed milk stage before turning into dulce de leche.
Dulce de leche is a delicious confection that's very common across Latin America. While delicious, traditional dulce de leche is made with sweet condensed milk which is full of sugar, so it's a no-no for anyone following a healthy low-carb diet. My dulce de leche is different!
Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer milk in the can for 3 to 4 hours. Milk will slowly turn light to medium brown and become thicker as it cooks. Add more water as it boils down. Remove lid from can and pour dulce de leche into a bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps and mix thicker caramel from the bottom into the rest of the syrup.
Dulce de leche has milk and sugar, or sweetened condensed milk as its base. In contrast, caramel is the result of a reduction of water and sugar with the addition of butter and heavy whipping cream. Moreover, it has a thicker and creamier consistency than caramel, although both are brown and sweet.
