Ingredients
  

Dulce De Leche
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Churro blondies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon sugar topping
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

Dulce De Leche
  1. Remove the outer wrapping from a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Place in a deep pot that will be able to completely submerge the can in water. Fill with water one to two inches higher than the height of the can. Bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer for two to three hours. Add more water as needed to keep the can covered.
  2. After two to three hours (the longer the boiling time, the darker and deeper colored the dulce de leche will be) remove can with tongs. Set aside to cool completely before using.
Churro Blondies
  1. Preheat oven to 350° with the oven rack in the middle position. Grease and line an 8X8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix together by hand using either a whisk or a wooden spoon until sugar is incorporated, about a minute. Add in egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and gently fold to combine, being careful not to over mix.
  4. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. In a small bowl mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake for 16-18 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean and the edges be very lightly golden brown.
  5. After a few minutes of cooling, remove the blondies from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. When cooled completely slice into bars. Place 1/4-1/3 cup of dulce de leche into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm and spreadable. Drizzle over each churro blondie. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover dulce de leche in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy in coffee, over ice cream, or any recipe you would use caramel!
Churro blondies can be kept in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature.
