Enjoy the rich, creamy flavor of homemade condensed milk, free from artificial additives – one of the many benefits of cooking from scratch.

No more simmering pots for hours. This quick condensed milk recipe can be done with 5 minutes of hands-on prep time and yields the same amount as a 14 oz store-bought can.

Similar to my toasted milk powder and Instant Pot yogurt, making your own condensed milk can save you money compared to store-bought options.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1 1/2 cups milk powder full-fat
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Make sure it's not boiling. Using hot milk helps the ingredients dissolve more easily and creates a smoother texture.
  • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Make sure the blender has a vent or opening to allow steam to vent. I don't recommend using a Nutri Bullet type of blender.
    3/4 cup whole milk, 1 tbsp butter, 1 1/2 cups milk powder, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again.
  • Add the blended condensed milk to a lidded jar and store it in the fridge until fully cooled for about 1-2 hours or until you're ready to use it. The mixture will set further as it cools down.

Notes

In a hurry? Cool down the homemade condensed milk in the freezer or an ice bath. 
No blender? No problem. Make this condensed milk in a protein shaker, with a handheld mixer, or whisk instead.
Storage: Refrigerated homemade condensed milk can last for up to 1 week. You can also freeze homemade condensed milk in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients laid out to make condensed milk.
  • Milk – This recipe uses whole milk and whole milk powder for a rich and creamy condensed milk. I don’t recommend using skim milk products if you’re after a thick and creamy consistency.
  • Butter – The butter dissolves in the hot milk and gives it extra richness and helps thicken it once cooled. I use lightly salted butter. Simply add a smidgen of salt if you’re using unsalted butter.
  • Sugar – Powdered sugar dissolves easily and sweetens the milk. You might be able to use natural sweeteners such as stevia or monkfruit powder instead.
  • Vanilla – I use vanilla extract or homemade vanilla syrup to add flavor to the milk but you can omit it as well.

Variations

Unsweetened: Simply omit the sugar and vanilla to make unsweetened condensed milk which you can use in savory dishes.

Spiced condensed milk: Add 1/2 tsp of chai spice mix or winter spice mix to make spiced hot drinks and dessert easily.

Popular condensed milk recipes

Desserts: Use condensed milk in ice cream such as my no-churn boysenberry ice cream or black forest ice cream. Fudge and caramel sauce are other popular recipes that use sweetened condensed milk.

Hot drinks: Add a spoonful of condensed milk to your coffee instead of a creamer or thicken your homemade hot cacao drink or hot vanilla drink.

Savory dishes: Use unsweetened condensed milk in Indian curries, Thai, or Filipino dishes.
