Dulce De Leche is a popular Latin American dessert that is similar in taste and texture to caramel. This recipe adds a twist of vanilla and citrus zest, giving it a unique and flavorful twist. It is often used as a filling for cakes, pastries, and cookies, or as a topping for ice cream and toast.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and place the sweetened condensed milk into a casserole dish.
2.	Add the vanilla bean seeds and citrus zest to the condensed milk, and stir until well combined.
3.	Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it into a larger baking dish that is deep enough to hold water.
4.	Pour hot water into the larger baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the casserole dish.
5.	Place the baking dish into the oven and bake for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the condensed milk has turned into a deep caramel color.
6.	Remove the casserole dish from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before removing the aluminum foil.
7.	You can serve the Dulce De Leche immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
