Servings: 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup boiling water
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Blender Method
- Make sure your blender is designed to handle very hot liquids before beginning.
- Add the dry milk powder, sugar, melted butter, and boiling water to the blender.1 cup nonfat dry milk powder, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup boiling water, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
- Immediately pour the sweetened condensed milk into a heat-safe jar or airtight container. It may look thin at first but will thicken considerably as it cools.
- Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Stovetop Method
- Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.⅔ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup boiling water
- Reduce the heat to low, then gradually whisk in the dry milk powder.1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- Add the melted butter and continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the mixture is smooth and creamy.3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Notes
- This recipe makes about 1 ¼ cups, which is approximately equal to one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
- The mixture will be thinner while warm and will thicken as it cools and chills.
- If the condensed milk is grainy, warm it in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes while whisking constantly. Remove it from the heat as soon as the sugar dissolves.
- Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled, provided your blender is large enough to hold the ingredients safely.
