Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Maple extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and dark brown sugar.

Step 2

Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring to avoid scorching. Cook the mixture for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, maple extract, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Allow the spread to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.

Step 6

Let the spread cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and bring to room temperature before using for a smoother consistency.
