Homemade Condensed Milk with Just 2 Ingredients: Delicious and Economical
If you’ve ever reached for a can of sweetened condensed milk only to realize you’re out, don’t panic — you can make it at home with just two ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
Not only is this homemade version rich, creamy, and just as sweet as the store-bought kind, but it’s also more budget-friendly and lets you skip the preservatives and additives.
Whether you use it for baking, desserts, coffee, or just a spoonful straight from the jar (no judgment!), this 2-ingredient condensed milk is a must-have homemade staple.
Why Make Condensed Milk at Home?
✔️ Saves money — Store-bought cans can be pricey; homemade costs just a fraction
✔️ Tastes even better — Rich, fresh, and perfectly sweet
✔️ No additives — Just two pure, familiar ingredients
✔️ Customizable — Make it dairy-free or adjust the sweetness to your liking
✔️ Convenient — No more last-minute grocery runs
What You’ll Need
1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
⅔ cup (130 g) granulated sugar
That’s it! No fancy tools, no canned milk, no thickeners. Just slowly simmer the two together and let the magic happen.
How to Make It
Combine milk and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly until the sugar fully dissolves.
Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don’t let it boil — just a soft simmer.
The mixture will thicken and reduce by about half. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and let it cool. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Store in a clean jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Note: The longer you simmer, the thicker and more caramelized it becomes — perfect for recipes that call for richer condensed milk.
Variations and Tips
Dairy-Free Version: Use canned full-fat coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
Flavor Twist: Add a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, or a cinnamon stick while simmering.
Make in Bulk: Double or triple the recipe and freeze in small portions for later use.
