Milk jam and chocolate coating

Dulce de leche or milk jam is a Uruguayan and Argentine product made with milk and sugar. It tastes quite as much as caramel, but its consistency is more creamy and less sticky.

75g butter

PREPARATION
Put the milk jam and the cocoa powder in a saucepan.
Cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously until the mixture melts.

Remove from the heat and add the butter.
Stir until the ingredients are well blended and you obtain a shiny mixture.
This coating is suitable for the Christmas Roll.
