Once a Month DIY: Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

This simple recipe can be such a life saver. Typically most of the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen. And making it yourself can save you a ton of money!

I love the simplicity of making sweetened condensed milk because…well, we go through it a LOT! Every week we are making coffee creamer, and so we seem to go through this stuff quickly.

Here is what you will need:

-       1/3 Cup of Water

-       1 Cup of Powdered Milk

-       4 Tbls Butter

-       ¾ Sugar

-       ½ Vanilla Extract

Directions:

I always add the butter to the water and microwave until boiling (but I suppose you can do it over the stove too).

Then add the powdered milk and whisk until it thickens, slowly stir in the sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whisk until it’s a thick and creamy consistency.

Voila!

It’s THAT simple! And it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week (but I don’t think it’s ever lasted a whole week in the Kemp household)
