Servings Cups

Ingredients

2 cups Milk
¾ cups Granulated Sugar
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine the milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the butter to the mixture.
Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or burning. Reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency. This can take anywhere from 30-50 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Store the homemade condensed milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should keep for about two weeks.

Notes

This recipe makes approx. 1-1.5 cups (350 ml) of condensed milk which is equivalent to a 14 oz. can you would buy in the store.
