Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

I bake a lot during the holidays and often use canned or sweet milk. My neat little neighbor lady gave this recipe to me that her mother gave to her. It is a money saver, especially since I always have a box of powdered milk in the house on stand-by.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup oleo or margarine
  • 1 cup powdered milk

Directions:

Place first three ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour into blender, slowly add powdered milk as blending. Blend until smooth. Keep refrigerated.

Great for use in Pumpkin Pies or any recipe that requires canned or sweet milk.

Servings: 1 cup
Time: 12 Minutes Preparation Time
5 Minutes Cooking Time

This sounds like a really good recipe but what is the difference between oleo and margarine? Can butter be used?

Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup instant non-fat powdered milk
  • 1/3 cup boiled water
  • 3 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • splash of vanilla, optional

Directions:

Boil water. Blend all ingredients in a heat safe bowl, use blender to mix. It will be thinner at first than actual canned stuff. Refridgerate for a while and it thickens up. Lasts about 2 weeks. Better than store bought.

Makes about 14 ounces.

RE: Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. powdered milk
Combine all ingredients. Heat to boiling. Cook until thick, about 15 to 20 minutes. Equals 1 can. (06/27/2009)

Put in blender in order given. Blend for one minute until well mixed. Pour into container and store in refrigerator. Make sure to cool before using.


This makes the equivalent of one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.


If you ever find that you do not have sweetened condensed milk in your pantry, the substitute taste practically the same as the canned stuff.


Old recipe for homemade sweetened condensed milk. Put all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. This equals 1 can.


This is an economical substitute for Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
