Homemade condensed milk recipe with step by step photos
Pour sugar and vanilla sugar into a saucepan (the saucepan must be with high sides). I highly recommend this - do not neglect vanilla sugar, it gives an awesome flavor to the finished sweetness in the end.
Brought to a boil.
And left to cook on medium (!) fire, stirring constantly. The milk will froth, resent, and strive to jump out of the pan, but resist the temptation to reduce the heat - it should be medium, and during the cooking process, the milk should foam well and boil strongly. It's like in the photo.
And that's what the right pot is for.
Let's take 20 minutes. By the way, the color will change during the cooking process due to sugar - it will become a little grayish. But do not be alarmed, then, when the mass cools down, it will become a beautiful yellow color.
After 20 minutes of strong boiling, remove the pan from the heat. Do not expect the mass to become denser during this time - it will only thicken slightly in consistency. Then we let it cool down a little, literally 10 minutes, and immediately put it in the refrigerator, where our homemade condensed milk should spend at least 2 hours and cool completely. As soon as it cools, it will become thick.
Well, then you can eat it with pancakes, and with pancakes, and use it to make creams, and add it to coffee or cocoa.

Tempting? Let's try.
Condensed milk at home - cooking principles
The most important rule for the successful preparation of any condensed milk recipe at home is strict adherence to the technology of the entire process. Any deviation in the quantity, cooking time, the necessary ingredients of the products, and not their substitutes, may lead to an unsatisfactory result.
Ingredients, which you will need I'm basically the same. Only usage variations change. This:
Milk– use homemade milk or milk with a high fat content, i.e. 3.2%. It must be fresh! It is also recommended to use whole milk that has not been dehydrated or reduced in fat. You will get a very liquid condensed milk if the milk had a high water content.
Powdered whole milk(do not use a substitute) is a powdered food product that is obtained in the process of drying milk. Milk mixtures are prepared on its basis.
Sugar. Powdered sugar can be used in place of sugar in some recipes.
Butter. Be sure to keep it fresh. Oil is necessary in order to give condensed milk fat content.
Cream- it is advisable to take homemade or with a high percentage of fat content.
The very process of making condensed milk at home in 15 minutes is the boiling of milk with sugar while evaporating excess liquid. In production, special vacuum evaporators are used for this. In them, the milk begins to boil very quickly, which entails the evaporation of excess moisture and the gradual thickening of the liquid. At home, according to recipes, condensed milk is prepared in an open way, by boiling and evaporating water with constant stirring. Therefore, if the product is liquid, then there is still a lot of water in it.
Of great importance is the way it is cooled. To obtain a homogeneous mass, it is necessary immediately after preparation to lower the container with the hot product into cold water and cool it to room temperature while stirring. And after that, condensed milk can be put in the refrigerator to thicken.
Also, a successful result depends on the quality of the products, the thickness of the pan, the intensity of the fire. Consider all these factors when preparing.
For such a delicacy as condensed milk, you can not get around the issue of calories.
Remember: 100 grams of condensed milk contains approximately 320 kilocalories.

These can be: pancakes, pancakes, roll, apple pie, cookies in molds, biscuit, waffle cake with condensed milk, as well as a huge number of cakes in which regular or boiled condensed milk is used in the composition for making cream.

About the recipe for homemade condensed milk
About adding soda: it helps keep the milk from curdling, practically guaranteeing it, even if it's not too fresh. Since I used yesterday's milk, I included baking soda in the recipe. I hasten to reassure: condensed milk has no taste of soda.
If no soda. Condensed milk can be prepared without the addition of soda, but then it should be taken fresh (you must be sure of freshness) and whole (selected).
The ratio of sugar and milk. As for homemade condensed milk recipes, they are different in terms of the ratio of sugar and milk, depending on the desired degree of sweetness. But here every housewife has her own practical secret - with this ratio it turned out pretty sweet for me.
Sugar syrup, not sugar. I highly recommend mixing milk not directly with sugar, but with sugar syrup, so it will better perceive the sweet product and even get thicker in consistency. ( Editorial. In the editorial experience, this was not confirmed, the excellent density turned out without syrup).
About dried milk. Sometimes, for a more expressive milky taste, milk powder (powder) is added to the recipe, usually in a ratio of 1 to 1 with sugar, but then it is better to take half as much fresh product.
Do you want boiled condensed milk? If you want to get boiled homemade condensed milk, cook 1.5 times longer.

How to cook condensed milk at home
To prepare condensed milk, it is best to use a large pan with a non-stick coating, as sweet milk will foam at first, and then burn to the bottom. If there is no such pan, you will have to stir it very, very often.
Pour vanilla and regular sugar into the pan, pour a little water.
Put on medium heat and constantly stir with a spatula or whisk until all the sugar crystals dissolve and the mass turns into sugar syrup.
Now pour milk at room temperature into the syrup (this is important), mix, bring to a boil.
Milk is better to use fatty and always fresh (even slightly sour milk will curdle when heated).
Prepare half a dessert spoon of baking soda.
After the milk boils for a few minutes, reduce the heat to a small position, add soda.
Immediately stir the future condensed milk intensively, because lush foam will begin to rise on it. After the foam has subsided, set a small fire (less than average) and simmer the milk for one hour, stirring it occasionally and removing the foam from the walls (do not throw away the foam, but put it back into the pan).
After a while, the milk will acquire a light coffee shade. If you need liquid condensed milk, then at this stage you can remove it from the heat.
If you want to thicken the condensed milk, boil it a little more (30 minutes).
Determine readiness by appearance and taste - the longer you boil milk, the thicker, darker and sweeter it will be.
Let the finished condensed milk cool, and then pour into a glass container.
Store in refrigerator. To keep condensed milk at home longer, do not remove the entire jar from the refrigerator for a long time and collect milk only with a clean and dry spoon.
