A pantry staple made from scratch – in 5 minutes. This sweetened condensed milk recipe is the real deal!
Hi! Another blog post born of my need to not go to the store and spend eleventy billion dollars when I only went in for one thing. Don’t tell me you don’t know what I mean! I can go in for bread and milk, and come out with whatever-meat-is-on-sale-and-ooh-look-at-the-deal-on-cereal-and-canned-tomatoes-and-oh-wow-I-forgot-we-needed-cheese-and beer-and chips…. and a depleted bank account.
So… how does it taste?
UM. YUM!!!! I refrigerate it right after I make this recipe – it thickens into a lovely consistency and is SO GOOD.

Hi! My blender is currently broken. Do you know if I could use something else instead(hand mixer, spatula, whatnot) thanks!

Hi Sophie! I haven’t used a hand mixer for this, but I am certain it would work! Let me know if you try it!
