Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk powder (keep powdered, not reconstituted)
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Combine Sugar, Butter, and Water: Add the sugar, butter, and hot water into a food processor. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves completely and the butter melts into liquid. The mixture should resemble a clear sugar syrup.
- Add Milk Powder: Add the whole milk powder to the sugar syrup mixture. Pulse the food processor until everything is combined and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency similar to canned condensed milk. This process can take a few minutes, so be patient and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Store the Condensed Milk: Transfer the homemade condensed milk to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep fresh for up to 6 months. Use as needed in recipes or as a sweetener in beverages.
Notes
- Use whole milk powder for the richest, creamiest result.
- Ensure sugar fully dissolves for a smooth texture.
- Pulse the mixture carefully to avoid over-processing and achieve the right thickness.
- Store refrigerated and always use a clean spoon to maintain freshness.
- This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of condensed milk, enough for medium-sized baking projects or beverage sweetening.
