Condensed Milk with 3 Ingredients

Homemade Condensed Milk with 3 Ingredients 

Introduction

Condensed milk, also known as sweetened condensed milk, is a thick, creamy dairy product made by removing most of the water from milk and adding sugar. It has a smooth, velvety texture and a rich, caramel-like flavor. Traditionally used in desserts, candies, and beverages, it’s also the secret behind creamy ice creams and fudgy sweets.

This 3-ingredient homemade condensed milk recipe gives you the same sweet goodness as the store-bought version — but fresher, cheaper, and healthier!

 Ingredients

You only need 3 simple ingredients:

1. 1 cup low-fat milk powder
2. ½ cup hot water
3. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4. (Optional but recommended) ½ cup sugar or 2–3 tablespoons honey for extra sweetness

Instructions

1. Heat the Water:
   • Pour ½ cup of water into a saucepan or bowl and heat until hot (not boiling).
3. Add Butter:
   • Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter into the hot water and stir until fully melted.
5. Blend the Ingredients:
   • In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the milk powder with the hot water-butter mixture.
   • Add sugar or honey if you want it sweetened.
   • Blend or whisk for 1–2 minutes until smooth, thick, and creamy.
7. Cool Down:
   • Pour the mixture into a clean, dry glass jar.
   • Let it cool completely before sealing with a lid.
9. Store:
   • Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
   • Before use, stir it well (it may thicken slightly when chilled). 

Methods

1. Blending Method:

Using a blender ensures smooth, lump-free condensed milk. Blend until the texture turns thick and glossy.

2. Manual Mixing Method:

If you don’t have a blender, whisk the ingredients vigorously with a hand whisk until smooth and creamy.

3. Double-Boil Method (Optional):

You can heat the mixture gently in a double boiler for 3–5 minutes to get a thicker consistency like commercial condensed milk.
