    Condensed Milk Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    I just love this recipe - it's just like having thermomix condensed milk "on tap" as whenever I want it I can just whip it up in 6 mins!  (Yes, a bit dangerous I know!) ;)

    Much quicker and cheaper than going to the shop to get some if I've run out.  The beauty of this recipe too, is that the quantity can be made up to 5 times in one batch and then stored in the fridge.

    With many thanks to Maryanne Skitt who has given me her permission for me to publish her recipe on my website.  I found Maryanne's recipe for thermomix condensed milk on the recipe community a year or so ago and I love making it!  Make sure you drop by Maryanne's recipe and let her know how you like it.

      Made a batch last night & it turned out a treat. Luckily I used it all in a passion fruit slice I made today, otherwise it would be too tempting to finish it off by the spoonful. This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I’ve already shared the link to a friend. Can you make caramel out of it?

      Hi, can this be make without a Thermomix as I don't have one. Perhaps on a low heat on the stove element? I would love to be able to make this condensed milk as I make a lot of Cheesecakes for Church functions. It is an uncooked cheesecake and uses 1 can of condensed milk. Tastes lovely & is not at all sweet.

        Judy, I haven't tried it on a stove but I'd say it should work. You'd have to keep stirring it though I suspect. Hope it works out for you. :)

      Yum! Had never made this before because it's one of those things I always seem to have in the cupboard, but I wanted to make a double batch of snickers slice and only had enough condensed milk for one lot. So I quickly whipped this up. It took 5 minutes, used ingredients I already had, and tasted even better than bought.

      I made it with skimmed milk powder as full milk powder is not easy to find in the uk. I followed instructions then did an extra 9 mins same speed same heat just for good measure. Tastes and looks likes what you buy - brill.

      Is it possible to make the condensed milk ahead and store in the fridge for a few weeks or can it be made ahead and put into serilised jars to keep, so you can have it on hand when a recipe calls for condensed milk?

      Reply
      • thermofun says

        March 31, 2017 at 11:10 pm

        Yes you sure can make ahead - or quadruple the batch and store in fridge. The only problem will be resisting the temptation to grab a spoon each time you open the fridge!! :)

      Thanks for the recipe. I too was caught without a tin in my pantry, so discovering this was super good. I thought it was too runny so I repeated another 8 min. same temp and speed and it is really nice. I want to try using fresh milk as per Adele's recipe one day.

      I have not bought condensed milk since discovering this recipe. Not only does it taste exactly the same (if not better) than the bought stuff, it is cheaper to make it yourself. $1.23 for a little over 400g = BARGAIN!

        Hi Robyn,
        I personally have not done the maths on this. However someone else has said it worked out at about 1.37 for 400g. I just checked Woolworths sell it for $3.20.

      I have been using this recipe for ages. Normally do a double batch. If you double the recipe, do no increase the cooking time, because it just turns into caramel, just leave it at 6 minutes. I have kept it in the fridge for around 5 days with no problems. Would probably last longer, there is nothing in it that would go off quickly.

      I made with skim milk powder. After leaving in fridge for couple of hours it didn't seem to thicken up anywhere as much as the condensed milk. Also found to be very buttery in taste. I still used it in the slice I was making & there were not complaints :-)

      Is there a dairy-free version to this? I avoid dairy & Soy Milk Powder doesn't seem all that easy to come by over in the UK, although I normally use Lacto-free milk... but this obviously isn't powder form! Do you have a recipe that uses standard Milk rather than powder, or could I adapt this somehow??
