1. 1

   Heat 500 ml almond milk and 150 g sugar in a saucepan, stirring until it begins to simmer.

   ⏱️ approx. 8 min

   💡 Tip: Vegan arequipe (dulce de leche) made from almond milk – a plant-based version of caramelized milk cream. Patient reduction is the key.

2. 2

   Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns caramel-brown (this takes 45–60 min.).

   ⏱️ approx. 50 min

   💡 Tip: Plant-based milk caramelizes differently from cow's milk – patience and constant stirring are essential. A pinch of baking soda helps promote browning.

3. 3

   Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and pour the cream into jars. Let it cool – it will thicken further as it cools.

   ⏱️ approx. 6 min

   💡 Tip: The vanilla rounds out the flavor. The cream firms up as it cools. Use as a spread, filling, or topping.
