Homemade condensed milk with 2 ingredients

You got it — this one’s super simple and actually works 👌
Here’s homemade condensed milk with just 2 ingredients.

🥛 2-Ingredient Homemade Condensed Milk

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)

• ⅔ cup sugar (white sugar or cane sugar)

Instructions

1. Pour milk and sugar into a saucepan.

2. Heat on medium, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.

3. Lower heat and let it gently simmer (don’t boil hard).

4. Stir occasionally and cook 35–45 minutes, until reduced by about half and slightly thick.

5. Let it cool — it will thicken more as it cools.

That’s it ✨

🧠 Tips for best results

• Use whole milk for a richer, creamier texture

• Keep heat low — boiling can scorch the milk

• If it looks thin while hot, don’t panic — cooling is key

• For extra smoothness, strain before cooling

🍰 How to use it

• Coffee or tea

• Desserts (fudge, key lime pie, tres leches)

• Drizzle over fruit or pancakes

❄️ Storage

• Store in a sealed jar in the fridge

• Keeps 5–7 days

Optional swaps (still easy)

• Evaporated milk + sugar → faster thickening

• Coconut milk + sugar → dairy-free version

If you want, I can give you:

• A no-stir microwave version

• A sugar-free or honey-sweetened option

• A vegan condensed milk that works for baking

Just say the word 🍯🥛
