Dulce de leche is a confection prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a substance that derives a different taste, changing flavour and colour. This Spanish name, literally translated, means ‘candy made of milk’. It is the magic ingredient in many recipes in Argentina – chocotorta (a cake made of layered chocolate biscuits and dulce de leche), alfajores (biscuit sandwiches of dulce de leche), ice cream, crepes, cakes, and muffins.

How is dulce de leche different from caramel?
Caramel is melted sugar (caramelized) which turns shades of brown. You can then add milk for a creme caramel. Dulce de Leche has, as its base, heated sweetened milk. Cooked down, it tastes just like or nearly like caramel with milk added.

Malagueta pepper is a type of chili widely used in Brazil, Portugal, and Mozambique and also used throughout the Caribbean. It is a small, tapered, green pepper that turns red as it matures at about 5 cm in length. It has a heat range of 60,000 to 100,000 Scoville units. Sauces made with malagueta pepper is commonly available as a condiment in restaurants throughout South America. Combined with passionfruit, which is native to southern Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, we get a distinctive hot and sweet sauce. This sauce can be used in combination with other elements like butter or stock to make a pouring sauce for baked fish, chicken and other meat. It can even be used as a salad dressing, dipping sauce for fritters or as a light drizzle over exotic cut fruits.
