Jello Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipes That Delight

Are you tired of running to the store every time a recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk? Do you want to impress your friends with your culinary skills while saving some cash? Look no further! We’re about to dive into the wonderful world of homemade sweetened condensed milk. Grab your apron and let’s get cooking!

Say Cheese! (Well, Sort Of)

First things first, let’s make sure we have the perfect ingredients on hand before we conjure up this creamy miracle. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Ingredients

1 cup milk (whole milk works best, but you do you)
1 cup sugar (because who doesn’t love sugar?)
3 tablespoons of butter (the magic ingredient)
Pinch of salt (just a pinch or you’ll feel like a salt lick)

Let’s Get This Party Started!

Now that we have our ingredients lined up like good little soldiers, it’s time to summon our inner chef. Here’s how to do it:

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. It’s like a magic potion, only sweeter!
Now, here comes the butter! Add it in and keep stirring until it’s all melted and mixed in. You’re basically creating creamy goodness.
Once it’s all combined, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. This isn’t a race, so don’t crank up the heat. Let it bubble away for about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is where the magic happens!
Watch as it thickens up and transforms into liquid gold. When it’s glossy and coats the back of a spoon, you’ll know it’s ready. Remove it from the heat and let it cool. You’ll be tempted to dive right in, but patience is a virtue!
Once it’s cooled, pour it into a jar or container and store it in the fridge. It can last up to a few weeks… if you can resist it that long!

And just like that, you have your very own homemade sweetened condensed milk! This delightful concoction can be used in a plethora of recipes—like coffee, desserts, or even luscious toppings for pancakes. Now, go forth and spread the sweetened condensed milk joy! Your friends will think you’re a total kitchen rockstar!
