Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe

 

Making homemade sweetened condensed milk is easy and requires just a few ingredients. It’s a great alternative to store-bought versions, and you can control the sweetness and quality of ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
• ¾ cup (150 g) sugar (or adjust to taste)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for creaminess)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:

1. Combine Milk & Sugar: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, mix the milk and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.
2. Simmer & Reduce: Keep the mixture at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30–40 minutes. The liquid will reduce by about half, and the color will slightly deepen.
3. Check Consistency: The mixture should be thick and smooth, similar to store-bought condensed milk. It will thicken more as it cools.
4. Add Butter & Vanilla (Optional): Stir in the butter for extra richness and vanilla for flavor.
5. Cool & Store: Let it cool, then transfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

• If you want a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of whole milk.
• For a quicker version, blend 1 cup of powdered milk, ½ cup hot water, and ⅔ cup sugar until smooth.

Lemon Custard Pie Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS :
For the pie:

• 1 large lemon
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 (9 inch) piecrust, unbaked (I used a frozen deep dish)

For the topping: (optional)

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 Tablespoons sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:
Take your pie crust out of the freezer or make your own. I used a frozen deep dish pie crust and it worked perfect. I placed it on a cookie sheet because the metal pan was not that strong but if using a glass pie plate you won’t need to do this.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Wash your lemon then cut up and remove all the seeds. (Don’t peel it, you will blend the whole lemon!) Place in your high powdered blender (such as a Vitamix).
Add the eggs, butter, vanilla and sugar. Blend till smooth. I started at power 5 then moved up to 10.
Pour the mixture into your piecrust. Bake for about 40 minutes or until set.
Let cool then chill in the fridge.
For the topping:
Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Add your whipping cream and sugar. Whip till peaks form.
Slice pie and serve chilled with a dollop of the whip cream on top. This can be enjoyed warm (is just won’t be as firm) or room temperature but we preferred it chilled.
