caramelized milk

Slow-simmered condensed dairy

Caramelized milk is milk that has been slowly cooked with sugar until it turns golden-brown and develops a rich, toffee-like flavor.

The process transforms ordinary milk into a thick, sweet substance used in desserts and confections.

Dulce de leche is the most familiar form: She spread caramelized milk on toast for breakfast.
