Description

Make Homemade Condensed Milk with just 3 simple ingredients! This easy DIY recipe gives you a rich, creamy, and perfectly sweetened condensed milk—perfect for desserts, coffee, or baking. No preservatives, just pure homemade goodness


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (480ml) full-fat milk (or toned milk)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 pinch baking soda

Instructions

1️⃣ Heat the milk & sugar: In a heavy-bottomed pan, add milk and sugar. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

2️⃣ Simmer & reduce: Lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by almost half (about 30-40 minutes).

3️⃣ Add baking soda: Once reduced, add a pinch of baking soda and mix well. This prevents crystallization and gives a smooth texture.

4️⃣ Check consistency: The mixture should be thick, creamy, and slightly off-white in color.

5️⃣ Cool & store: Let it cool completely, then transfer to an airtight jar. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.


Notes

  • Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Use full-fat milk for the best creamy texture.
  • Can be used in coffee, baking, or as a sweetener in desserts
