Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk + Video
This easy homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk recipe can be made with your blender in 2 minutes or less! Use it in dessert recipes (cakes, pies, bars, etc.), mix it in drinks (coffee, tea, lemonade, etc.), or use it to make ice cream. The possibilities are endless.
Making your own sweetened condensed milk is super easy, and delicious. I don’t usually have it on hand, but thanks to food storage, I usually have powdered milk on hand, which is what this recipe uses. This recipe is so EASY, seriously. You will never buy another can of this stuff ever again.
Before you say, “Oh I found another method of doing this,” forget about it. Do it this way for sure! When I first learned you can make your own sweetened condensed milk at home, the recipe I tried had you whisk it in a pot over the stove. It was always super lumpy and I was miserable trying to make it work. I am so glad I found out about the blender method!

Instructions

- Put water and butter in a large microwaveable dish and let it come to a boil in your microwave; about 45-60 seconds. Keep an eye on it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE sweetened condensed milk. I put it in my fridge and eat spoonfuls periodically. I also make my espressos with a double shot and 1 tsp of sweetened condensed milk. I will try this!

Apparently dipping fruit in it is amazing too! Just so you know, I did notice when I put my leftovers in the fridge, I had to stir it up a bit before I used it later. It’s not fantastic at storing, but it’s great to use right away. Let me know what you think!
I had no idea you could make this at home.
Thanks for the recipe.
Pinning!
