Need a Substitute? Sweetened Condensed Milk

July 29th, 2008 . by Country Gal

Isn’t it frustrating to run out of an ingredient when you’re in the middle of baking? Especially when your 15 miles from the nearest grocery store!

Here’s a thrifty substitute for sweetened condensed milk that will work in a pinch.

Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitute

Combine in a blender:

1/2 cup warm water
1 cup and 2 Tablespoons non-fat dry milk
3/4 cup sugar

Process in the blender until smooth. It will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

This equals one 14 oz. can.

    Yes, I’ve used this often and have even been able to whisk it without getting out the blender!
