But this recipe proved to be one of the easiest and quickest way to make condensed milk at home. Just 10 minutes and your homemade condensed milk is ready.

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 often. 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.
