Condensed milk is a universal and very tasty treat. Residents of post-Soviet countries love condensed milk and add it to various desserts. Store-bought condensed milk raises many doubts about its composition, and its taste is not very natural. We suggest making delicious condensed milk at home and sharing our advice – on how to thicken the dessert if it turns out too liquid.
Homemade condensed milk
For homemade condensed milk, choose fresh, fat-free milk without additives, preferably rustic. You will also need a saucepan with a thick bottom.
- Milk with a fat content of 2% or more – 5 cups.
- The sugar – 2.5 cups.
Pour the milk into a saucepan and put it on minimum heat. When the milk heats a little, pour in the sugar and stir until dissolved. Stirring regularly, boil the condensed milk for 2-3 hours, until the milk thickens. Leave the condensed milk in the refrigerator for 5-8 hours and pour it into sterilized jars, if you plan to store it for a long time.

After the specified time has elapsed, turn off the heat. Continue to stir the condensed milk for another 5 minutes after turning it off. Cool to room temperature and place in the refrigerator for a few hours.
