Sweetened condensed milk

Sweetened condensed milk is a creamy and sweet ingredient commonly used in desserts and baking. It comes from dairy sources, specifically cow's milk. The milk is heated gently to remove water content, resulting in a thick and rich liquid with added sugar for sweetness.

To make sweetened condensed milk, fresh milk is heated slowly and gently to evaporate a significant amount of water, which thickens the liquid. Sugar is then added to give it a sweet taste. This process creates a rich and velvety texture that is perfect for adding sweetness and creaminess to various recipes.

Sweetened condensed milk is often included in recipes for fudges, ice creams, and cakes because of its ability to provide a rich sweetness and creamy texture. It also helps in extending the shelf life of certain products like homemade caramel sauce or key lime pie. When you spot sweetened condensed milk on a food label, you can expect a deliciously sweet and creamy addition that enhances the flavour and texture of the product.
