Simply grab your milk, sugar and baking soda to whip up your own homemade condensed milk!
Equipment
- Pot
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole Milk
- 140 g Sugar
- A Pinch of Baking Soda
Instructions
- Stir as you heat it at medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Lower the heat to low heat and let it simmer for around 30 minutes.
- Remove the foam at the edges.
- Add baking soda and stir it.
- Simmer it for another 10 minutes until it thickens.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool down?
Notes
- Simmer the milk mixture, not boil. Boiling will cause the milk to thicken too much.
- To ensure that the milk is simmering (not boiling), the milk will have small gentle bubbles on the top layer.
- Removing the foam (also known as scum) will form smoother, cleaner condensed milk. The foam is actually impurities coming out of the milk.
- Don�t thicken the condensed milk too much when it�s boiling as it will also thicken as it cools down.
- You can use high heat to boil the milk but make sure to stir it continuously.
- Keep scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot to prevent clumping of milk fat.
- Baking soda can help to thicken the condensed milk more efficiently and give it a creamy texture.
