A simple and delicious homemade condensed milk recipe. This recipe is a great alternative to store-bought condensed milk and can be used in various desserts and recipes.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the evaporated milk and granulated sugar.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Cook: Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 hours or until the mixture has thickened and turned a golden brown color.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. Transfer the condensed milk to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of vanilla extract or a teaspoon of butter to the mixture.
- Be patient during the simmering process. The longer you simmer, the thicker and richer the condensed milk will become.
- Keep a close eye on the mixture to prevent it from burning. Stir frequently and adjust the heat as needed.
