Absolutely! Making homemade condensed milk is surprisingly simple, and you really only need two ingredients. Here’s a tried-and-true method:
Ingredients
- Milk – 2 cups (whole milk works best for creaminess)
- Sugar – 2/3 cup (adjust slightly to taste)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients
In a medium saucepan, mix the milk and sugar together. - Heat gently
Place over low to medium-low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the milk from sticking or burning. - Simmer and reduce
Let it simmer slowly for 30–40 minutes. Stir occasionally. You’ll notice the milk thickening and turning slightly creamy. - Check consistency
Once the milk has reduced by about half and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat. - Cool and store
Let it cool completely. Pour into a clean jar or container. It will thicken slightly more as it cools. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
✅ Tips:
- Whole milk gives the best richness, but you can use low-fat milk too.
- Stirring constantly is key to avoid burning or curdling.
- For an extra creamy taste, add a tiny pinch of baking soda to prevent curdling (optional).
If you want, I can also give you a super-fast 2-ingredient version that uses powdered milk, which is even quicker and just as sweet. It’s perfect for last-minute desserts.
Do you want me to share that version too?
