Condensed milk, also known as Sweetened Condensed Milk, is milk which is cooked for a long time with sugar. In Eggless Baking, it is used as an egg replacer. Homemade Condensed milk not only provide sweetness to your bakes, but it also provides the required glaze and richness.
Then you must be aware that the market bought condensed milk is made with refined sugar and preservatives that I strictly avoid in my cakes. Refined sugar is nothing more than empty calories, no nutrition at all. Moreover, the added preservatives in the market made condensed milk make it unhealthier.

Let’ make our Homemade Condensed Milk
For this recipe, I have used raw cane sugar. The light color of the cane sugar signifies that it is less processed so have nutritional value intact. If cane sugar is not available at your place, you can use Brown sugar, honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar as well. Basically, we need some sweetener that can caramelize. Hence stevia or xylitol will not work for this recipe. The approximate weight of sugar is 200 gm.
Take a heavy bottom pan. Add milk and raw cane sugar to it. Start boiling the milk with continuous stirring. Stirring will prevent sticking of milk at the bottom of the vessel. After one boil, reduce the flame to medium-low heat. Let the milk boil on that low flame for another 20 minutes.
Keep stirring in-between. After 20 minutes the volume of the milk will reduce to half. You will also notice that milk has darkened and thickened. Switch off the flame and let the minute cool for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add ¼ tsp of baking soda and using a whisker whisk it immediately. You will notice some formation of the bubbles. Don’t worry. Adding baking soda will make the mixture more creamy and smooth. However, if you don’t want to add, you can skip adding baking soda.
Let the prepared condensed milk come to room temperature. Pour the homemade condensed milk into a sterilized glass container and store it in the refrigerator. It stays good for three months.
