Directions
- 1
Combine the powdered milk, sugar, boiling water, and melted butter in a blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- 2
Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly with a spatula for 5 to 8 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- 3
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature — it will thicken further as it cools. Transfer to a clean jar with a lid.
- 4
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Use in pies, cakes, frostings, or coffee. Note: this version is not suitable for candy-making recipes like fudge or truffles.
💡 Chef's Tip
Stir in ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract before heating for extra depth of flavor. Freeze in ice cube trays for convenient single-use portions whenever a recipe calls for a small amount.
