Condensed milk or milkmaid as its popularly known is an essential ingredient in your kitchen for making many sweets and baked goodies. Generally we buy condensed milk or milkmaid from supermarket which is really expensive. But you can make condensed milk at home economically.
Condensed milk at home – Yes!! you read it right.All these days I was thinking that they make condensed milk by thickening milk for hours together to reach the thick creamy consistency. But this recipe proved to be one of the easiest and quickest way to make condensed milk at home. Just 10 mins and your homemade condensed milk is ready. That too with just 4 easily available ingredients in your pantry. Is that not a good news?
Mittu loves milkmaid and the homemade version came close to it so she enjoyed it to the core and is demanding me to make it again 🙂 Homemade is always handy and far better than the store bought ones with loaded preservatives,….you can use it for any desserts or just mix with fruits and serve it for kids, they will sure enjoy.
What is Condensed Milk?
Condensed milk is cow’s milk thickened for a long time.Water is removed completely then sugar is added to it. Many sweets, cakes, fudges and many more such recipes use condensed milk. Sweetened Condensed Milk is thicker, richer extremely delicious all by itself and you can even try so many no cook desserts using it.
How to make Sweetened Condensed Milk?
Condensed milk is thickened milk boiled and simmered to evaporate all the water away then adding sugar to it. Traditionally the simmering method is very time consuming. So this easy quick method I have given here can be made in just 5 mins. Though the taste does not match 100% it still gives the same result in baked goodies and indian sweets.

We can store this homemade condensed milk and store for upto a week or 10 days in fridge. The freshness and flavour reduces a bit so I recommend not to store more than 10 days. Always make a fresh batch as its easy to make.
