... Read moreMaking your own sweetened condensed milk is not only a budget-friendly choice but also a great way to avoid additives found in store-bought options. With just a few ingredients, such as your preferred milk (dairy or plant-based) and sugar, you can whip up a rich, creamy treat that enhances your favorite recipes.  One popular method involves simmering milk and sugar together until it thickens, transforming it into a perfect ingredient for coffee, desserts, or baking. Ensure you let the mixture cool completely before refrigerating to prevent any mishaps.  Additionally, homemade sweetened condensed milk can be stored for weeks, making it a practical staple in your kitchen. Whether you're baking a cake, making fudge, or simply sweetening your morning cup of joe, this recipe provides a delicious and affordable alternative. Embrace your inner homemaker and explore the many uses of this simple yet versatile ingredient in your everyday cooking!

Hmmm, I must have missed the "condensing" part. This is just literally hot milk with sugar dissolved in it. It needs to be reduced/cooked down, doesn't it?

I like to just purchase a can of condensed milk and turn it into the BEST Caramel in a crockpot over night. Put the cab into your crockpot and fill up with water until it’s just above the can cover and set it at low for approximately 8hrs.
