🛒 Ingredients

2 servings

2
  • 200 g (2 cups) whole powdered milk
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated white sugar
  • 250 ml (1 cup) lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the lukewarm water and sugar into a blender and pulse briefly to start dissolving the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add the powdered milk and butter, then blend on medium speed for 5 minutes until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Stop the blender and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow it to settle.

  4. 4

    Blend again on medium speed for another 5 minutes until you achieve a thick, creamy consistency.

  5. 5

    Pour into airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.

  6. 6

    Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container.

💡 Chef's Tip

Use lukewarm (not hot) water to help the sugar dissolve more evenly and achieve a silkier texture. The condensed milk will thicken further as it chills — that is perfectly normal!
