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.

Awesome DIY project! I can't begin to tell you how many cans of sweetened condensed milk I used in the past week. Maybe I should make my own like you did!
