Sweetened condensed milk is basically evaporated milk that’s had a sugar party. Evaporated milk is just milk with about 60% of its water removed—no sugar added. Your mission? Add sugar, reduce it a little more, and boom—condensed milk.
It’s a kitchen hack that feels like a secret superpower. You’ll never have to abandon a recipe again. Plus, you can control the sweetness level like a boss.
Grab Your Ingredients (and a Spoon)
You’ll need one can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk, about 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar (or 1 ¼ cups if you like it less sweet), and a pinch of salt. That’s it. Three humble heroes.
Oh, and a heavy-bottomed saucepan and a whisk. No fancy gadgets required. This is real kitchen wizardry.
