Nola shared this recipe with me. I think sweetened condensed milk is rather overpriced considering all it really contains is milk and sugar!
2c. milk
1c. sugar
Boil in double boiler until golden in color and thick.
Nola - I don't have a double boiler, so I just cooked it until it got thick and golden.
BE CAREFUL! It burns easily. I recommend medium heat and lots of stirring.
Gina- I tried cooking on a double boiler and it seemed to take a very long time. I found a heavy bottomed pan to be much faster though I did keep a close eye on it and stirred often.
I really don't use a lot of sweetened condensed milk but like to keep it on hand for our favorite brownies. (recipe found here) This weekend I made up a batch of caramel sauce to eat with apples. I used the recipe from Tammy's Recipes. Mmmm Good!

Thankyou for this, I'll definitely give it a try. I am not so keen on the TWG versions, but this one sounds like it will be a bit more like the real thing. Lisa :)
ReplyDeleteG'day...yep, you have an Aussie reading your blog...loving it...i just wanted to share an easier condensed milk recipe i came across years ago...in a blender, mix two cups of powdered milk with 1 cup of very warm water and two cups of sugar....we use full cream powdered milk but if you use 'skim' as we Aussie call it, you also add 2tsps of butter...wizz it up for a minute or so....it thickens on cooling...can be used where condensed milk is called for...makes nearly 1/2 a litre ( sorry...not sure what that is by your measuring standard). Keeps in the fridge for few days but not if i get a hankering for it in my coffee...so naughty

Thank you for this recipe! How should it be stored and how long will it keep?
