I like it in REALLY strong coffee. They drank it that way in Spain.
Also, it makes decent caramel/dulce de leche. Here are the instructions
I got off the internet, because usually I just pressure-cook an unopened
can when I wanna do it.

Oven method; Pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk into 9 inch pie plate.
Cover with foil; place in larger shallow pan. Fill larger pan with hot
water. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until thick and caramel
colored. Beat until smooth.

Stovetop Method: Pour 1 can condensed milk into top of double boiler;
place over boiling water. Over low heat, simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours or
until thick and caramel colored. Beat until smooth.

Microwave Method: Pour 1 can condensed milk into 2 quart glass measure.
cook on 50 % power (medium) for 4 minutes, stirring briskly every 2
minutes until smooth. cook on 30% power (medium-low) 12-18 minutes ot
until very thick and caramel colored, stirring briskly every 2 minutes
until smooth.
