Dulce de Leche Cupcakes Recipe • Simply Scrumptious! | Club Foody

Overall David and I don’t really have a sweet tooth but we do have our moments. It usually comes as a surprise, as a wave and an intense craving… When it does, we simply need our sugar fix. The problem is it’s just the two of us in our house so when it happens, I have to make something on a smaller scale.
 
I’m more of a “muffin” person but once in a blue moon I don’t mind baking some cupcakes with the icing on top. I already have a few recipes like Red Velvet, Maple Bacon, Chocolate with Strawberry Icing, Mango Vanilla, and the one I’m sharing with you today… my Dulce de Leche Cupcakes! OMG! These cupcakes are so d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!
 
The first thing to make is the dulce de leche. Although quite close to each other, caramel and dulce de leche are not the same. One is made with sugar, heavy cream and butter, while the other one is made with sweetened condensed milk and simmers for hours to achieve that thick consistency that caramel has. Are they similar in taste? I would say “yes” with a minuscule difference in flavor but not enough to be detected unless your palate is sharp like David’s…
 
It’s also safer to make Dulce de Leche than caramel. A few years ago, I shared my Salted Caramel Sauce with you. If the sauce is left on a couple minutes too long, it would have a burned taste to it. To make Dulce de Leche, the can has to simmer gently for hours… that’s all!
 
Without taking all the credit, these Dulce de Leche Cupcakes were initially my mother Nicole’s idea. She baked a few recipes in the past using simmered sweetened condensed milk. She made amazing pies, cakes and cookies with this ingredient. While we were on the phone talking about it, she suggested that I should try making cupcakes. That was a great idea!
 
With a beautiful buttercream icing and a touch of “dulce”, these Dulce de Leche Cupcakes are just sublime! It’s a delicious way to enjoy this popular Latin American flavor in cupcake form… Thanks Mom!
Bon Appétit!
