Thermomix Condensed milk: This homemade sweetened condensed milk is a quick and budget-friendly substitute for store-bought condensed milk. Made with just four pantry ingredients, it becomes smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet in only a few minutes. It works beautifully in desserts, cakes, fudge, caramel recipes, coffee, and no-bake treats. The texture thickens naturally as it cools, giving you a rich and silky condensed milk ready for baking or everyday use.

Tips

  • 100% skim powdered milk,
  • or a mix of both depending on your preferred fat content.
    The full cream version contains about 7–8% fat.
• White sugar gives a lighter color, while raw sugar creates a darker condensed milk.

  • Keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge
  • Can also be frozen.

Equipment

• Thermomix (TM) or high-speed blender/heated mixer
