Homemade condensed milk with 2 ingredients: delicious and economical.
👩🍳 Instructions:
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and add the sugar.
Stir gently to combine.
Heat Slowly
Place over medium-low heat.
Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Simmer & Thicken
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Cook for 30–40 minutes until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half.
It should coat the back of a spoon and have a creamy consistency.
Optional Flavoring
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if desired.
Cool & Store
Let it cool, then pour into a clean jar.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
💡 Tips:
For an even richer version, you can use 1 cup milk + 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
Stir frequently while simmering to get that smooth, luscious texture.
This homemade condensed milk works perfectly in cakes, pies, cheesecakes, coffee, or dulce de leche.
If you want, I can also give you a super quick 5-minute version using just sweetened milk powder — it’s even faster and still delicious! Would you like me to share that one too?
