Ingredients
Scale
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Divide the sweetened condensed milk among two 8-ounce canning jars or four 4-ounce jars. Secure the lids and place them on the trivet. Add enough water to almost reach the lids on the jars (about 1/2 inch below the metal lids).
- Secure the Instant Pot lid and ensure the steam release vent is in the sealing position. Choose pressure cook (or manual on older models), high pressure, and set the time for 30 minutes.
- When the time is up, allow a natural release for 15 minutes. Carefully release the remaining steam and remove the jars to a rack to cool.
- To thin the sauce, warm it over low heat and add cream in small amounts until you have the desired consistency.
