In Denmark we don't have condensed milk in our regular stores and I've actually only seen it in an UK-import store a few years ago. Is there an alternative to it or can you craft it with regular cooking equipment?

To make sweetened condensed milk:




The best make-your-own version is to
mix 1 cup of evaporated milk with
1-1/4 cups of sugar in a saucepan,
heat and stir until the sugar is
completely dissolved, and let cool.



If you don't have evaporated milk on
hand either, you can make your own by
slowly simmering any quantity of milk
in a pan until it reduced by 60%, and
then adding the sugar.

One recipe of mine has peanut butter as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk but I don't think this is appropriate for all recipes. It is convenient, as I always have some peanut butter in the pantry.

Condensed milk and evaporated milk have the same consistency (almost) simply because both of them are made by the same process of evaporating 60% of the water content but the similarity ends there. Because sweet condensed milk contains added sugar you cannot substitute condensed milk for evaporated milk.
Evaporated milk is not as sweet as condensed milk.

    Sweetened condensed milk substitute



    • 2 eggs

    • 1 c. brown sugar

    • 1 tsp. vanilla

    • 2 tbsp. flour

    • 1/2 tsp. baking powder

    • 1/4 tsp. salt

    Mix all ingredients and use as a substitute for sweetened condensed
    milk in recipes for pies, bars and desserts.

      Sweetened condensed milk really is just milk with a bunch of sugar and less water. This is going to be way different - different flavor from the salt, vanilla, and brown sugar, different thickening and binding properties from the eggs and flour, and maybe even a bit of leavening from the baking powder.

      This is nasty and has no similarity at all to the product it supposedly is a substitute for.... and has raw eggs, where condensed milk is often used without further cooking in refrigerator pies, for example.

    • In the UK, blue-topped milk is full-fat. I assume that's what gemma means, as to the best of my knowledge most condensed milk is made from raw unskimmed milk. For completeness: green is semi-skimmed ("2%"), and red is skimmed.

      What is blue milk? Googling provides no reasonable hits.

    • @SAJ14SAJ Wild guess: 2% milk, since I think it's the one most commonly sold with a blue label?

    • @Jefromi I had no idea there was a convention for that--but it would be regional, if it exists, I think...

    • My guess is it's regional. Where I live evaporated milk is usually labelled in blue. But googling it with its English name shows many cans with red labels.

    One recipe of mine has peanut butter as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk but I don't think this is appropriate for all recipes. It is convenient, as I always have some peanut butter in the pantry.

    • I would guess that it is a very small subset of recipes which will work with this kind of substitution.

    Condensed milk and evaporated milk have the same consistency (almost) simply because both of them are made by the same process of evaporating 60% of the water content but the similarity ends there. Because sweet condensed milk contains added sugar you cannot substitute condensed milk for evaporated milk.
    Evaporated milk is not as sweet as condensed milk.

            Sweetened condensed milk substitute



            • 2 eggs

            • 1/2 tsp. baking powder

              Sweetened condensed milk really is just milk with a bunch of sugar and less water. This is going to be way different - different flavor from the salt, vanilla, and brown sugar, different thickening and binding properties from the eggs and flour, and maybe even a bit of leavening from the baking powder.
