My husband is my biggest competition when it comes to this, so today when I tried to make my own; I made it when it was out of the house. Until I chose this theme for this week’s blogging marathon, I would have never thought of making my own condensed milk. There is a long way to do it and then there is a shorter way. Do you want to guess which one I tried out? Of course, it is the quick one. The whole process took me like 10 minutes. I would definitely be making the elaborate one soon, but this came very close to the ones in the can. It needed 4 ingredients and a blender. I always have some dry milk powder in the pantry to use in case of emergency. I have never run out of milk, but I am very paranoid that I might one day and hence there is a pack of carnation milk powder always in the pantry. I wanted to use my hand blender to blend the ingredients but then realized that the quantity might be too little for the blades to work at their full capacity. I am very scared of using blenders to grind hot ingredients, but I braved it out today thankfully without any disaster. Preparation time – 5 minutesCooking time – 2 minutesDifficulty level – very easy
Ingredients to make Condensed Milk – (makes ½ cup)
Milk powder – ½ cup (I used carnation) Powdered sugar – ¼ cup Butter (unsalted) – 1 tbsp Water – ¼ cup
Procedure –
Place the milk powder, sugar, and butter in a blender jar.
Boil the water and add it to the blender jar. Mix once using a spoon.
Blend for a minute on high until the mixture is creamy. Be careful as it could splash when blending. Start at low speed and then go up to high. Blend for about a minute and then carefully open the lid.
You will notice that the mixture is nice and creamy. That is it! Your condensed milk is ready. Use it right away or store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
Always use a clean moisture-free spoon when taking it out from the jar.
And not to forget, please have your kids or the kid in you lick the remaining in the blender jar.
