Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk + Video
This easy homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk recipe can be made with your blender in 2 minutes or less! Use it in dessert recipes (cakes, pies, bars, etc.), mix it in drinks (coffee, tea, lemonade, etc.), or use it to make ice cream. The possibilities are endless.
Making your own sweetened condensed milk is super easy, and delicious. I don’t usually have it on hand, but thanks to food storage, I usually have powdered milk on hand, which is what this recipe uses. This recipe is so EASY, seriously. You will never buy another can of this stuff ever again.
Before you say, “Oh I found another method of doing this,” forget about it. Do it this way for sure! When I first learned you can make your own sweetened condensed milk at home, the recipe I tried had you whisk it in a pot over the stove. It was always super lumpy and I was miserable trying to make it work. I am so glad I found out about the blender method!

Glad you found this recipe helpful Mariann!
Why is your’s look so white mine looks yellow
My guess is that it depends on the brand/type of milk powder that you use.
Do you need to add butter to it or no thanks.
The butter replaces the fat removed from the milk powder and adds a creamy richness to it. If you really want to leave it out, it would probably still be ok.
Can I substitute sugar for Erithrytol? And milk powder for whey protein piwder?
I can’t say for sure as I have not used those ingredients. I’m sorry.
I really want to try this recipe and would love to know does it taste the same as store bought and can I use this in making flan. Would appreciate if I get a quick reply.
I have used it for coconut macaroons and magic cookie bars, but not flan. It is slightly thicker than canned once it is cooled, so it may effect the consistency of the flan. You’ll have to let me know if you try it.
I love this recipe! It should be better calorie wise as compared to purchased sweetened condensed milk. Any idea if I can use Bocha sweet, which is my favored sweetener since I gave up sugar?
Thanks! I haven’t tested this recipe with other sweeteners, but if you do, please update us on if it worked out or not.
