You can either use store bought or homemade dulce de leche for this trifle!

Step 1: Ingredients and Method

Since caramel/dulce de leche sweetened condensed milk is not easily available, what you can do to make one is:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

a lot of water

a pot

Place milk into a pot and cover with water. Boil for at least 3 hours long for thinner result (first picture) and 4-5 h long for thicker result (third picture).

When water is lessen before 3 h mark, add more water. So for easier, cover the milk can with a lot of water. The milk can has always to be covered by water during boiling.

NOTE: do NOT open the can, boil as is

Pour some of dulce de leche ontop of crumbled cake

Pudding: 1 box instant vanilla pudding powder, prepare as per box direction, let stand for 5 minutes (til its thickened) then add in 1 c pumpkin pie filling (such as Libby's), mix well. Spoon some pudding ontop of dulce de leche
