Condensed Milk (Blender Method)

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1.5 cup full-fat milk powder
• salt (tiny pinch (optional))

Steps

1. 1

   Add sugar and water to a saucepan.

2. 2

   Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 5 minutes on medium heat. Do not let the sugar caramelize.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat.

4. 4

   Let the syrup rest and cool for 5–7 minutes. It should still be hot to the touch, not cold.

5. 5

   Transfer the warm syrup to a blender.

6. 6

   Add 1.5 cups (150 g) of milk powder and a tiny pinch of salt if using.

7. 7

   Blend for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth. Note that it will look slightly thin while warm, which is normal.

8. 8

   Pour the mixture into a container.

9. 9

   Refrigerate for a minimum of 3–4 hours to allow it to thicken to a classic condensed milk consistency.

Notes

The final texture after chilling should be thick, glossy, and smooth, creating a slow ribbon when poured. Store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
