Thanks for the original inspiration.

I have to say that Graham Crackers are not the perfect match for the dulce de leche here (but it is still quite good!)…I’m now inspired to try a different cookie.

fmed — That looks incredible! When you first mentioned baking it, I didn’t think about how the condensed milk would turn into dulce de leche. Seriously, that looks killer. But yeah, I can see how you might want to crumble the grahams instead of leaving them whole. Thank you so much for sharing!

I tried it. I layered the crackers with the condensed milk (two full cans) in a pyrex baking dish, covered it with foil, then baked it at 250F for maybe 1.5-2 hrs? I didn’t time it since I judged it purely by colour. It turned out great. Even better when you let it cool in the fridge. I was like a dulce de leche topped ‘blondie’. Crazy good. One change I would make: roughly crumble the squares instead of layering.

Here’s are some pics:

fmed — I’d be curious to see what happens if you bake it. Let us know if you try it.

This looks great! I might try to bake it after the condensed milk has been absorbed by the crackers.

It’s great the way you planned it as you made it. The spices and strawberries certainly take it up a level. It would be lovely soaked and soft.

This would be good with the chocolate grahams and the chocolate condensed milk for all the chocoholics out there.

I have to tell you, my grandmother used to make something very, very similar to this. This is one of the fondest taste-memories I have from childhood. She used bananas between the layers instead of strawberries and no spices.
