I’m sure you’ll love this homemade coconut milk jam made in the pressure cooker as much as I do. The preparation method is super simple and the result is delicious.
Furthermore, it can be a great way to prepare a sweet treat to give to someone you care regarding. Not to mention that you can vary it by swapping the coconut for other ingredients.
Dulce de leche in the pressure cooker
You’ve probably already seen (or even made) canned condensed milk cooked in a pressure cooker, right? In my opinion, this version is likely to be one of the tastiest dulce de leche I’ve ever tried.
But how regarding making a version that comes already stuffed and in a jar that can be used both to take straight to the fridge, as well as to give as a gift to someone or even go straight to the table to be served? Perfect, right?
For me, without a doubt, the big difference with this version is that we can already make the filling incorporated into the sweet. It is possible to make pure dulce de leche with this method of preparation, but let’s agree, to make it in the simplest version, why not go straight from the can to the pan.
Here, we use grated coconut. But you can add chocolate, plums in syrup, peanuts and even guava. In other words, you can make the version you love most.
As I prefer not to make it extremely sweet, I opted for unsweetened grated coconut.
Tips for preparing your sweet
As simple as it may seem, for this recipe to be perfect, some tips are essential, such as:
- Choose a glass pot that can withstand high temperatures. Furthermore, it needs to have a screw lid that can also withstand “cooking”. In other words, no pots with plastic and wood;
- The amount of condensed milk will depend on the size of your pot. As mine had a capacity of 500 ml, it took approximately that amount of condensed milk;
- You can measure the amount of filling. I wanted more texture, so for 500 ml of condensed milk, I used approximately 1/3 cup of grated coconut;
- It is essential to alternate a layer of condensed milk (in greater volume) with the filling, to make it easier to mix following cooking;
- Wrapping your pot in a thick cloth, as well as making a bed of cloths in your pressure cooker, prevents the glass from cracking;
- If you prefer your dulce de leche lighter, consider reducing the pressure time from 40 to 30 minutes;
- Let it cool well before opening your jar;
- And finally, mix well to make your candy more uniform.
Furthermore, it is essential that you understand whether your glass pot fits in your pressure cooker, whether standing up or lying down.

Ingredients
- Condensed milk – preferably whole;

- In a very clean glass jar, start by adding the condensed milk. Then intersperse larger layers of condensed milk with a little grated coconut;
- Close your pot tightly and then wrap it in a very thick cloth;
- Line the sides and bottom of your pan with more cloths and add water up to the maximum limit of your pan;
- Take it to cook. After the pressure starts, set 40 minutes for a darker dulce de leche;
- After this time, let it cool well before taking it out of the pan and opening it. Stir well to incorporate the coconut into the jam and refrigerate;
- Serve plain or as a filling for sweets and accompaniment.
