Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

Introduction

Sweetened condensed milk is a thick, creamy milk product often used in desserts and beverages. Making it at home is surprisingly simple and requires only a few ingredients, allowing you to control the sweetness and thickness. This homemade version is perfect for adding to coffee, tea, baking, or as a base for sweet treats. Plus, it stores well, making it a convenient staple in your pantry.

Ingredients

• 1 cup powdered milk
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • In a blender or mixing bowl, add powdered milk, sugar, and softened butter.
2. Add Boiling Water:
   • Pour the boiling water over the ingredients in the blender or bowl. The hot water helps to dissolve the powdered milk and sugar, creating a smooth, creamy consistency.
3. Blend Until Smooth:
   • Blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes until smooth and thick. If using a bowl, you can use a hand mixer or whisk vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
4. Adjust Consistency (if necessary):
   • If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of additional hot water until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Transfer and Store:
   • Pour the homemade sweetened condensed milk into a clean, airtight jar or container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing.
6. Refrigerate:
   • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using as the mixture may thicken over time.
