RECIPE TIPS
SARA SAYS...
If you like Baileys, you are going to love this!
I usually make it with condensed milk but
had a flash of inspiration when I saw a jar
of dulce de leche, the soft spoonable toffee
often used to make banoffee pie, in the
supermarket. If you want to make a batch
to give as gifts, stick a label on the bottles to
make sure that the lucky recipient knows
to store it in the fridge.

Delicious - not sure why the measurement for cream isn't just given in one lot! Some of us are not in the UK where there are standard size pots. Super easy to make - we cooked (in a slow cooker) a tin of condensed milk as can't get tinned caramel.

Continuation. Most international aisles carry dulce de leche.

Great receipe and after making received many comments saying how nice it was. I would recommend that the ingredients are well mixed before adding the single cream to thoroughly mix. Tastes so nice and will make again for Christmas day.

Made this liqueur without the dulce de leche as I couldn't find it in the supermarkets, so instead I used a tin of Carnation Caramel and it worked out great. The result was really tasty!
