In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and add the granulated sugar. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to gently simmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30\u201340 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half and thickened to a creamy consistency. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once thickened, add the butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the butter melts completely and everything is incorporated smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow the condensed milk to cool slightly. Pour it into clean, airtight jars or containers. It will thicken even more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a thicker consistency, let it cook a little longer.
You can substitute whole milk with plant-based options like coconut or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
Use this homemade condensed milk for cakes, coffee, or any dessert that calls for sweetened condensed milk.
Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
