Sweetened condensed milk is not only one of the necessary ingredients for preparing a wide variety of dessert dishes and homemade baked goods. Sweet and aromatic condensed milk is a completely independent dish that can be eaten with tea or coffee. In any case, condensed milk should be in the refrigerator of any housewife, and today I will tell you how to prepare it at home simply and quickly.
There are several recipes for sweetened condensed milk at home. I suggest making it with the addition of milk powder, although many cooks cook with baking soda. There is no dry milk taste in the finished condensed milk; it smells like caramel and tastes the same as store-bought milk.
For me, preparing condensed milk at home was not a forced necessity (we always have high-quality condensed milk freely available), but a kind of experiment: whether it will work or not. I'll be honest: I'm more than pleased with the result. In addition, preparing homemade condensed milk is very simple and quick.
I'm sure you'll ask me how profitable it is to prepare condensed milk at home from a financial point of view. Having compared the cost of a store-bought product and the price of the ingredients necessary to prepare condensed milk, my answer is that that’s what it turns out to be. That is, it turns out the same. But the naturalness of the finished product is an important factor, especially for countries where so-called dairy products are most often produced on the basis of vegetable raw materials (palm oil and the like).

- It is advisable to take cow's milk (instead of store-bought).
- If it so happens that condensed milk will be made from purchased milk, then its minimum fat content should be 3.5%. Five percent milk is best.
- If you add two pinches of baking soda during the cooking process, there is less chance of lumps forming.
- A stainless steel pan is the best option. If it is not available, then a thick-bottomed pan will do.
- It is better to use powder rather than granulated sugar. Then the components will dissolve faster, and the condensed milk will also cook faster.
- If you add a little starch to the powdered sugar, the consistency of the condensed milk will be smoother.
- To make “varenka”, that is, boiled condensed milk, you need to pour the finished condensed milk into a jar and place it in a pan of water. As soon as it boils, leave to cook for 2 hours. Voila!
- Do not open (.) or remove the boiled condensed milk until the water and the condensed milk itself have cooled completely. The can may explode. This is already a risk of getting burns.
- Excessive consumption of the product will be harmful due to the large amount of sugar in its composition.
- You can consume 25-50 grams of condensed milk (one or two tablespoons) per day and no more! Only in this quantity will it be beneficial to health.
- Condensed milk can be considered healthy only because of the milk in its composition (now it’s clear why the one in the store is terribly harmful).
- Use only fresh milk.
- It will be healthier to use unrefined sugar (cane or brown).

Today, stores sell only fakes. It seems as if natural products are no longer produced. Very often, after reading the ingredients, you want to give up eating altogether. The situation is the same with condensed milk.
Yes, there is no glue added to these canned foods, but there may be a full can of palm oil in there! Of course, the manufacturers won’t write about this on the can, and we won’t know what we bought.
Therefore, we strongly recommend making condensed milk at home. This is a more expensive pleasure, but it is natural, tasty and healthy. You make this product yourself and know what you put there and in what quantities. You know that you definitely won’t have any health problems.
