Manjar is something very delicious and very Chilian. It is only available in Chile and the closest thing is dulce de leche. People in Chile put manjar almost on anything. Donuts, cakes, pancakes, crepes, bread. Most people have love-hate relationship with manjar. It is truly delicious, but it is really unhealthy. I mean it has a lot of sugar! It has three ingredients: milk, sugar, and vanilla.
If you want to make manjar, here is a recipe:
2 liters of whole milk | = | 33.814 ounces of whole milk |
900 grams of sugar | = | 1.98416 pounds of sugar |
1 vanilla bean | = | 1 vanilla bean |
The instructions are simple: Heat up the milk, sugar and vanilla stick until it is boiling. When everything is boiling, lower the heat so the milk does not spill. Keep stirring the milk until the sugar and vanilla dissolves. When the sugar and vanilla dissolves, set the heat on low and keep stirring until the mix is more thick, not solid.
