Homemade condensed milk is a rich, sweet, and creamy DIY alternative to store-bought versions, made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for desserts, drinks, and baking projects, it’s quick, customizable, and preservative-free.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence
  • Optional: 3 tbsp butter for creamier texture

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine milk powder, sugar, and water.
  2. Stir continuously over medium heat until everything dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla essence (and butter, if using) until fully incorporated.
  4. Let cool before using or transferring to a storage container.

Notes

  • Add butter for extra richness and smoother texture.
  • Replace some water with coconut milk for a tropical twist.
  • Simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
  • Reduce sugar slightly for a less sweet version.
