Condensed milk is great for so many things, but one thing I especially use it for is as a substitute for milk and sugar in my morning coffee. With three kids and a hubby who love to guzzle down milk like it's going out of style, it's hard to keep a gallon in the fridge. So imagine those mornings when I am bleary eyed and anxiously awaiting that pot of coffee to finish brewing, only to open the refrigerator and find that there's no milk for my coffee. Those are the mornings where I am either ripping hair out of my head, or silently reaching for my little mason jar of homemade condensed milk.
There are many recipes that involve using condensed milk, so if you find yourself without some, here is one recipe for making your own in a pinch!
Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe
1 Cup instant nonfat dry milk
2/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
2 ounces melted butter
Blend all ingredients in a blender till well mixed. If you find that your condensed milk is too thick to pour, add a spoonful or so of boiling water. You may use it right away, or you may store it in the refrigerator for up to five days. It does get a little thicker in the refrigerator, but when stirred and brought to room temperature, it should be fine.
Now that you are a pro at making your own sweetened condensed milk, why not try your hand at some of these lovely recipes using your new creation?
Enjoy!!
