Yes! You can make homemade condensed milk with just two ingredients—it’s simple, economical, and tastes amazing in desserts, coffee, or baking. Here’s how:
Ingredients
- Milk – 2 cups (whole milk gives creamier results)
- Sugar – ⅔ cup (you can adjust sweetness slightly)
Method
- Combine milk and sugar in a medium saucepan.
- Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture reduces by about half and thickens.
- Cool – The condensed milk will thicken a bit more as it cools.
- Store in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla or a small pinch of baking soda.
- Use low heat to avoid curdling.
- Can substitute part of the milk with evaporated milk for faster results.
💡 Uses: Coffee sweetener, drizzling over pancakes, baking cakes, making fudge or caramel.
