Directions
- 1
Warm the water slightly — it should be lukewarm, not boiling (around 30–35 °C / 85–95 °F), which helps the sugar dissolve smoothly.
- 2
Add the milk powder, sugar, and warm water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
- 3
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour into a clean glass jar and seal tightly.
- 4
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. The mixture thickens as it chills, reaching the classic condensed milk consistency.
💡 Chef's Tip
Keeps for up to 7 days in the fridge in a sealed jar. Use it in no-bake cheesecakes, fudge, key lime pie, or anywhere a recipe calls for canned condensed milk. For a richer result, use a high-fat whole milk powder.
