Hey guys,
I have tried this recipe and I'm wondering where I went wrong. It is not creamy at all, but more of a crumb consistency (similar to a graham cracker crust). It doesn't seem that there is very much liquid. Any ideas?

I pm'd the author, so hopefully I'll hear back. If not, any other recipes or ideas?

So can anyone tell me, when you have made caramel icing out of brown sugar, does it remain gritty...with the brown sugar not dissolving completely? 2 minutes of boiling just didn't dissolve it. I ended up adding more milk and re-boiling, but it still never dissolved.

I need something creamy to be a filling in my cake. Any other recipe ideas?

I make caramel filling from cans of sweetened condensed milk. Put the cans without the label in a pan and cover with water. They have to boil for a few hours. I leave mine on for 3 hours. When they are done you have delicious caramel. If you think you want it more spreadable a tablespoon or two of cream cheese can be added. I think it's wonderful. I use this for dulche de leche cakes.
