A scrumptious mouthwatering way to end your lunch or dinner would be a great tasting Latin dessert. This recipe is a delight, Dulce de Leche Cortada, a traditional dessert in Dominican Republic and in other Latin American countries. It’s called leche cortada (Curdled milk) because when the fresh lemon juice is added to the boiling milk it begins to curdle, although, the milk used in this dessert is fresh. This is one of the first traditional recipes I learned to make as a newly wed because it is my husband’s favorite dessert.
I am sure when you taste it, you’ll fall in love with it. Try it very cold, is the best that way! Enjoy!
