Making homemade sweetened condensed milk is easy and requires just a few ingredients. It’s a great alternative to store-bought versions, and you can control the sweetness and quality of ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
- ¾ cup (150 g) sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for creaminess)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- Combine Milk & Sugar: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, mix the milk and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.
- Simmer & Reduce: Keep the mixture at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30–40 minutes. The liquid will reduce by about half, and the color will slightly deepen.
- Check Consistency: The mixture should be thick and smooth, similar to store-bought condensed milk. It will thicken more as it cools.
- Add Butter & Vanilla (Optional): Stir in the butter for extra richness and vanilla for flavor.
- Cool & Store: Let it cool, then transfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- If you want a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of whole milk.
- For a quicker version, blend 1 cup of powdered milk, ½ cup hot water, and ⅔ cup sugar until smooth.
Would you use this for baking, coffee, or a special dessert?
