Were you aware that you can make Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk with just three simple ingredients? Making homemade is so easy and is perfect when you are in a pinch. No need to rush to the store for a can.
Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
If I had a dime for every time I have looked in my pantry for a can of sweetened condensed milk to find that I am totally out, I would be a wealthy woman. A few weeks back, I was making some Homemade No Churn Oreo Cookie Ice Cream and did not have any sweetened condensed milk. I was totally bummed because it was too late to run to the store. What was a girl to do? It was time to make some Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk so I could finish off the kids cold treat and get it in the freezer.
Since making sweetened condensed milk only requires dry milk, sugar and butter, I had everything on hand. I always like to keep my pantry stocked with dry milk because it has come in handy many of times.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Instant Non Fat Dry Milk
2/3 cup Sugar
1/2 cup boiling Water
1/4 cup melted Butter
DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a blender and run until mixed (scrape down sides as needed).
Can be stored in sealed jar in refrigerator for a week.
I was amazed how close this homemade version turned out. It tastes just like the stuff we buy in the cans. Plus it saved this girl from a trip to the store. Having recipes for simple homemade ingredients is perfect. Do you have a favorite pantry staple recipe that you use often when you run out?

August 9, 2015 at 7:03 pmThanks for the reminder of this handy hack! :) Sweetened condensed milk is one of those “miracle” ingredients that can’t be replaced with something else. When you need it, you need it! Thanks for putting this easy copy back on my radar…visiting from Motivation Monday!

August 13, 2015 at 11:19 amI avoid cans because of the BPA issue so I’ve always avoided recipes that use sweetened condensed milk. I was so excited to see this recipe so I don’t have to do that anymore! Plus it natural ingredients and could easily be made organically. Thanks so much!

August 4, 2016 at 11:19 pmI looked all over the internet for an acceptable substitute for sweetened condensed milk this past week. THIS one is perfect. I wanted to reduce the carbcount in a recipe using the canned milk — which is 168 grams per cup. Your recipe comes out to 68 grams of carbs per cup. Big difference and this one is so much easier than other substitutes I found. Woohoo! Thank you. Pinned.
