When I Tried Homemade Condensed Milk First Time

A brief conversation between me and my hubby:

Me: How's this condensed milk?
Hubby (After licking little): Ummm, excellent! Far better than readymade one

This conversation took place just last month. Actually, when I started baking my all-time favourite Tutti Fruiti cake, I realized that its main ingredient, condensed milk, was not there. I had already started the process, so I thought of trying it with homemade condensed milk. Since long, I had been wanting to try it out but somehow couldn't and this was the perfect opportunity to try it.

Moreover, I was tempted to try it as its not a time-consuming recipe, just a 2-minute recipe that too with just 2 ingredients. Also, I could replace refined sugar with brown sugar. And wow! what lovely colour and texture! And you have already read it in the beginning when my dear hubby tasted it.

So, no more stocking of condensed milk as I can make it whenever I require in just 2 minutes.

Before we look into how condensed milk is made, any idea what it is?

 

What is Condensed Milk?

Condensed milk simply means milk that has been thickened by evaporating it and sweetened. Normally, sugar is added to milk and is then heated for an hour or so till the milk thickens and water in it is evaporated. In the process, the sugar caramelizes and gives a lovely creamish colour to it.

Condensed milk made by this method gives perfect results but it is a very time-consuming method. And if we can get the same results by following this recipe of making condensed milk instantly then why not?

Nestle Milkmaid or Amul Mithai Mate are nothing but famous brands of readymade condensed milk. 

 

How To Make Condensed Milk Instantly With Milk Powder

The instant condensed milk, I am sharing here, is made with milk powder. Instead of milk, we are using milk powder which is nothing but dehydrated milk only. To the milk powder, sugar and hot water are added and that's it!.

Now, the quantity of water varies depending upon when you are going to use it. If using immediately, then add slightly less water. And if making it in advance then use slightly more water as it thickens after being kept in the refrigerator.

Frequently Asked Questions
