Ingredients
While the Argentinian dulce de leche is made with cow's milk, our Peruvian version incorporates goat's milk for a unique and slightly tangy flavor. Additionally, we infuse our dulce de leche with a hint of Peruvian cinnamon and a splash of pisco, a traditional Peruvian brandy, to elevate the taste and add a touch of local flair.

- Granulated sugar — You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your desired level of sweetness.
- Cinnamon stick — Use a whole cinnamon stick for a subtle and aromatic flavor.
- Pisco — Choose a good quality pisco to enhance the taste of the dulce de leche.
Tips & Tricks
- Stir the mixture occasionally while simmering to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- If the dulce de leche becomes too thick, you can add a splash of warm goat's milk to thin it out.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute part of the goat's milk with heavy cream.
