Notes
How Much Is in a Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk?
A standard can of sweetened condensed milk contains 14 ounces, which equals about 1 1/4 cups. This homemade version is designed to replace one can in recipes with no adjustments needed.How to Use the Dry Mix
To replace one 14‑ounce can of sweetened condensed milk:Prepared Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 3/4 Cups Sweetened Condensed Milk Dry Mix
- 1/2 Cup Water, very hot
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/8 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
Instructions
You can use a blender for a smooth finish or a bowl and whisk to make the sweetened condensed milk. Pour the boiling water into a blender or bowl. Add the powdered mix, melted butter, and vanilla in using. Place the lid on the blender and cover with a folded kitchen towel. Hold the lid firmly and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until smooth. Or whisk until smooth. Let the mixture sit 3-5 minutes, as it will thicken. Use this in your favorite recipe or pour it into a jar or container.Recipe Tips
- If you want it really thick, refrigerate for 30 minutes. The cold temperature will harden the butter in the recipe.
- If your mix clumps, a quick pulse in the blender or food processor fixes it right up.
- For extra richness in desserts, don’t skip the butter. It mimics the texture of canned condensed milk beautifully.
- Label your jar with the date and a note that 1 3/4 cups mix = 1 can. Future-you will be grateful.
- This mix is perfect for holiday baking when stores run out. Or in our case during the winter months when roads are icy and you’d rather stay home.
