Fanguito is the name we use in Cuba for dulce de leche. It is made with condensed milk and is, without exaggeration, the easiest recipe in the world.

  3. Cover the pot and place it over high heat until it builds pressure.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and let it cook under pressure for 30 minutes. After that time, remove the pot from the heat.
  5. When the pot has lost all its pressure, take out the can. It will be very hot, so place it in fresh water and wait for the temperature to drop.
  6. Open the cooked condensed milk can and enjoy this delicious Cuban sweet.
