Homemade Condensed Milk
Recipe Overview
Overview
Making your own sweetened condensed milk at home is not only easy but also incredibly rewarding. This recipe combines just a few simple ingredients: granulated sugar, dry milk powder, softened butter, and a pinch of salt, all blended together with boiling water. The result is a creamy, sweet concoction that can elevate your coffee or be used in a variety of desserts.
The process begins by blending the sugar until it becomes super fine, which is key to achieving that smooth texture we all love in condensed milk. After adding the dry milk powder and butter, the mixture is blended with boiling water until completely smooth. It’s important to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Once blended, the mixture is transferred to a jar and refrigerated for at least two hours. This step is crucial as it allows the condensed milk to thicken to the perfect consistency. I love how this homemade version can be stored for weeks, making it a convenient staple for all your baking needs.
After letting it chill, you’ll find that it has a glorious texture, perfect for drizzling over desserts or stirring into your morning coffee. The flavor is rich and sweet, and I can assure you, once you try this homemade version, you might never go back to store-bought again!
