-Leche Quemada (Milk Fudge)

"Here's a Mexican treat called leche quemada, or milk fudge. This treat
tastes delicious served with fruit, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or just by
itself. Remember to remove milk from the can because a heated, unopened can
could explode."

Place milk in a 2-quart bowl, microwave on medium-high power 2 minutes,
stir. Microwave 2 minutes longer, stir. Microwave on low power 1.5 minutes
longer, stir well and cool. Mixture should be thick, creamy and slightly
darkened. Chill thoroughly. Makes about 1.5 cups.

++ Oven method. Pour milk into a 8 or 9 inch pie plate, cover with foil,
place in shallow pan. Fill pan with enough water to come partially up the
sides of pie plate. Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 1-1.5 hours until
thick and caramel-colored. Remove foil, cool. Chill thoroughly. ++ Stovetop
method. Pour milk into top of a double boiler, cover, place over simmering
water and cook 1-1.5 hours until thick and light caramel colored. Beat
until smooth, cool. Chill thoroughly. Source: Belleville News Democrat
