Tres Leches Sauce





Yields
Makes 2 1/2 cups

Time: 45 minutes. This rich sauce is a more pourable version of dulce de leche, a caramel-like favorite in Latin America that is used with everything from cakes and cookies to candies and ice cream.

 1 can (12 oz.) evaporated goat milk*
 6 tablespoons sugar
 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring goat milk and sugar to a boil (mixture will boil up, so watch carefully). Meanwhile, in a small bowl or cup, dissolve baking soda in 2 tsp. water.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in baking-soda water; mixture will boil up again. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook mixture, stirring frequently, until light caramel–colored and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Add sweetened condensed milk and cream and heat, stirring, until warm. Serve sauce with Butternut Squash Bread Pudding.
