One of my favorite topping for my breakfast toast: ‘Bebogeen’! This classic caramel paste, from the 50’s, is traditionally made from Dutch sugar beets. During and after the Second World War, supplies on butter were running low. By producing this delicious paste, people were still able to spread something creamy on their sandwiches.
Since a lot of classic Dutch products are disappearing from the shelves in the supermarkt, I needed to find a way to make my own. My favorite combination is Bebogeen with banana, chocolate sprinkles and toasted peanuts. This ‘Bebogeen’ stays in good condition for about 3 months (in an airtight container) but I bet it is not going to stay for a week..

Ingredients
- 3 tins Condensed milk like Friesche Vlag

When the real magic happens…

- Since the tins are very hot, please use a kitchen tong to remove the tins from the hot water.
