Since I started making my own coffee creamer at home, I’ve been trying to come up with an inexpensive substitute for canned, sweetened condensed milk. After looking through numerous recipes for a homemade version of it, I experimented until I came up with one that uses evaporated milk, and less sugar then some of the other recipes I’ve seen out there. This makes the equivalent of a 14 oz. can.
Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
1-14 oz. can evaporated ,ilk
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons butter, melted
Add all of the ingredients into a heavy bottomed sauce pan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator and use within one week.

so does this work out to be less expensive then buying regular cream? Just curious…I love evaporated milk in my coffee….but cream is good to!
Tara, this works out to be a "little" cheaper then buying cans of sweetened condensed milk. The real savings comes when you make it with powdered milk. I'll be trying that recipe next.
It sure looks rich and creamy! How does it taste compared to canned sweetened condensed milk? I'm very interested in the powered milk version, I have a big old box of it here that I would LOVE to use up :)
It's pretty close Andrea. It was something I came up with because I didn't have any powdered milk on hand. I will be trying that version this week and will post the results. In a pinch though, the one with evaporated milk is a good substitute.
I'm glad to see you blogging again. I hope this means your husband is doing a little better. I have been praying for you guys.You mentioned you make your own coffee cream. I couldn't find it when searching your categories. Have you blogged that recipe? Heather
Thank you Heather, Yes, my hubby is doing a little better each day, thank God. He is a tough fighter, but I know it is because of God's blessings that he is coming along so well. I haven't blogged my coffee creamer recipe yet. I'm making a fresh batch tomorrow though, and will post it afterwards. It's easy to make, and only uses three ingredients. You cant beat that!
