Homemade sweetened condensed milk is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes such as caramel, fudge, pies, and ice cream. It is also a great option for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy since it can be made using non-dairy milk. Making your own sweetened condensed milk is not only easy but also cheaper than buying it in the store. In this recipe, I will guide you through the steps to make your own sweetened condensed milk that is delicious, affordable, and easy to customize to your taste.
I first came across this recipe when I was making a dessert for a friend who was vegan. I had never tried making my own sweetened condensed milk before, but I was surprised at how easy it was. I also liked that I could control how much sugar I added to the recipe and even used almond milk instead of cow’s milk. Since then, I have started making my own sweetened condensed milk regularly, not only for dairy-free options but also to save money on store-bought cans. Making your own sweetened condensed milk is not only easy and affordable but also allows you to customize it to your taste buds. Without further ado, let’s jump into the recipe.
