You know what’s amazing? The fact that you can turn a can of sweetened condensed milk into a caramel dipping sauce with your Instant Pot (or slow cooker for that matter). It’s just magical. Basically all you do is pour the sweetened condensed milk into little jars and place those jars on the trivet in the bottom of your electric pressure cooker. Add some water to the bottom of the pot and cook for 20 minutes and you’ll have the cutest little jars of goodness. My favorite way to eat this caramel sauce is to dip apples into it. It’s ultra sweet so granny smith apples balance it out a bit. These are a fun gift to give to a friend. Wrap up an apple in cellophane and throw in a little jar of caramel sauce. Who can resist that?

What Instant Pot/Slow Cooker Did You Use?

For this Instant Pot Caramel Dipping Sauce I used this Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker. It’s 6 quarts, so the same size as most slow cookers. It cost me around $80 on Amazon. When I made a similar recipe in the slow cooker I used this 6 quart KitchenAid Slow Cooker.

Ingredients

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 (3 oz) canning jars

---

Instructions

1. Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and pour the contents evenly into the 3 canning jars. Put the lids on the canning jars and close.
2. Place the cans on the top of the trivet that has been placed in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Fill the Instant Pot with enough water to come up to about a 1/2 inch below the tops of the jars.
3. Cover the Instant Pot and place valve on “sealing.” Press the manual button and set timer to 50 minutes. When the timer beeps let the pressure release naturally. Once you can open the pot do so and carefully remove the jars with tongs and place on a towel or cooling rack. Let them sit for 15 minutes. Remove the lids and give a quick stir. Place lids back on and store in the refrigerator until they are ready for use.

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot for this recipe.
