Homemade condensed milk with 2 ingredients: delicious and economical.

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients
    • In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and add the sugar.
    • Stir gently to combine.
  2. Heat Slowly
    • Place over medium-low heat.
    • Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. 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.
  4. Optional Flavoring
    • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if desired.
  5. 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?
