This is a terrific substitute for the canned version. It is a bit thinner than the commercial kind but it seems to thicken a little more when it sits for a few minutes.

So quick and easy and better for my pocketbook :)

Great Recipe, I was suprised how much it taste like it was from the can, it worked great in my recipe!

This is really good. I was sort of heavy handed with my milk power and it consistency was perfect. I will not ever buy sweetened condensed milk again.

Thanks for this simple recipe! I made and used this for a pasta salad and it looks and tastes just like the stuff from the can! It was very easy (an inexpensive) to make!

This is wonderful, I will be making this all the time instead of buying sweetened condensed milk.

what is the difference between condensed milk & condensed creamer ?

Hi Alberta,

Condensed Milk: This is cow's milk that has been evaporated to remove water content, resulting in a thick, syrupy liquid. It can be used as a substitute for fresh milk when baking or cooking.

Condensed Creamer: Also known as coffee whitener, condensed creamer is not dairy based but rather made from vegetable oil and other ingredients. It's primarily used to lighten the color of tea or coffee without adding significant flavor.

So, while both are thick liquids, condensed milk comes from cow's milk and can be substituted for fresh milk in recipes, whereas condensed creamer does not contain dairy but is used more as a lightener for beverages.

Hope this helps!

The recipe was super easy to do, and just like the real thing but so much cheaper! I will not be buying the canned stuff anymore.
