Sweetened Condensed Milk
Print This Post
- 1 cup hot tap water
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups instant non-fat dry milk powder
- 6 tablespoons melted margarine
- Blender or electric beaters
First get out your blender. You can beat the mixture with electric beaters if you prefer, but a blender really does a better job. A food processor would probably work pretty well too, but I’ve never tried it. So anyway, measure your hot water into the blender. Add the sugar, dry milk powder and melted margarine. Put the lid on the blender and whirl it around for a full minute. The mixure will be kind of thin, but will thicken up after standing for about an hour. This recipe makes about 3 cups, or the equivalent of two cans of condensed milk. Each store-bought can of sweetened condensed milk contains about 1-1/2 cups. So this recipe is equivalent to two cans. The mixture may be measured and used right away in any recipe calling for sweetened condensed milk. Or for longer storage, divide the mixture equally between two clean pint size canning jars. Store them in the fridge for a week. Or for longer storage, freeze them for a few months, and then just thaw before using. Every time you use this recipe instead of buying the name brand stuff from the store you will save about $3.00. Not bad for less than five minutes work.
And for anyone who is skeptical: Yes, this recipe really works in all of the recipes the canned stuff does.

I have an extra supply of cows milk right now. Do you have any conversion for using cows milk instead of dry milk? I am going to experiment but don’t want to reinvent the wheel if someone else knows how to do it. Thank you for your advice. Penny

How can I thicken my condensed milk. I did it just like the recipe said (not yours, but it is exactly the same) and it just won’t thicken. It tastes like condensed milk, but it is runny.
Thanks, JH Robbins

My daughter makes home made carmel pies by just heating and beating sweetened condensed milk. But these pies are costly as it takes 3 cans sometimes 4 (if she makes it without any topping). What a great money saver! We’ll give it a try as we have folks giving our large family (9 of us) evaporated milk all of the time!
