Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

This delightful recipe is perfect for anyone who wants to indulge in the goodness of sweetened condensed milk without the preservatives and additives found in store-bought versions. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make!

Ingredients

1 cup of whole milk
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the unsalted butter to the mixture and continue to stir. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pan. The mixture should reduce by about half and thicken slightly.
If desired, incorporate the vanilla extract during the last few minutes of cooking to give the milk a lovely flavor boost.
Once it has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. The sweetened condensed milk will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the milk to a jar or airtight container and allow it to cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

This homemade sweetened condensed milk is perfect for drizzling over your favorite desserts, mixing into coffee for a creamy treat, or using in your favorite recipes that call for it. Enjoy the sweet goodness made just the way you like it, right at home!
