Nadun Appu I can’t confirm for all milks, but it does work with cow milk, including Lactose free milk, and almond milk. It mostly is dependent on the sugar since the sugar is what helps it thicken instead of evaporating.
Cindy French, I am also lactose intolerant, and plan to try out this recipe. Lactose-free condensed milk is available, but the price is extreme; on the other hand, lactose-free milk is much cheaper.
I used to live in a country where it was easy to get and cheap. Now I'm living somewhere where it's almost impossible to find and horrendously expensive when you do! So a big thank you from me for your great video.
Happy to have helped! We offer these alternatives, most especially to those who do not have easy access to such ingredients. And you'll never know when you will need it in a pinch
I’m making this today just to pour in a cup of coffee. I’ve halved the recipe: 1 cup of milk + 1/3 cup of sugar. It’s currently simmering and has about 10-15 minutes left. It smells amazing! 😍 Update: Oh my God, Gemma! That’s the best thing I have ever put in my coffee in all my life. Used full fat, organic milk and good quality sugar. Thank you!
Gemma Stafford okay thanks, yeah that's fine, and btw didn't realise you could make condensed milk so thanks :), but it was just the way it was filmed and then you picked it up that was quite weird and funny in the way that scale can change perception :)
I have been watching this video over and over and over again, procrastinating over whether I should make it or not. I get this idea in my head that it won't come out right. (forgetting all I need is milk and sugar..LOL) When I made it I was so astonished. It was very easy and very tasty. I didn't even need to use it in any of my cooking because it is great by itself(i know this may be bad..but come on can you blame me :) Thanks Gemma!
same here, I was skeptical at my ability to succeed this recipe due to my inexperienced cooking skills. But I gave it a shot after reading your comment and it turned out successfully. Now I don't need to buy canned expensive condensed milk anymore……
For those with sweet tooth: Cut banana lengthwise (like banana split), then bake or grill it until golden brown. Put on a plate, then drip sweet condensed milk on top, add chocolate sprinkles. Heaven!
Hi Bold Bakers! I really hope you like the first of many Bold Baking Basics. For a DAIRY FREE CONDENSED MILK go to www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-dairy-free-condensed-milk/ . it is made the exact same way, just using coconut milk. You can also use other nut milks like almond and cashew. Stay Tuned for Thursday BBB because there is a brand New No Machine Ice Cream Video including Starbucks Frappuccino and Cereal Milk Ice Cream. Gemma xx.
+Jayda Bailey I know right, condensed milk is in every supermarket, local stores, even Poundland. But I just told my mum, how to make it so she is going to try it.
+letsbedragonflies do you know what that is in British sterling? Over here it's like 80p for a small tin but you can get it in a bottle aswell. The brand nestle do loads of different kinds
I tried this with coconut milk at home and it came out perfectly well! I could tell because it looked just the way you'd described it (light brown, thick, reduced in volume by half, exactly 8 fl oz) and my dessert (in which I used this finally) turned out delicious :) Thanks for this useful recipe! It's easier than I had imagined!
I'm starting to learn on how to make more things at home before I become a stay at home parent, recently made peppermint mocha creamer for the first time(we go through $50 of this creamer a month) and was curious if I could just make the condensed milk for the creamer at home, thus me being brought here! This video was very helpful and simple to the point, your channel is neat too!
Thanks because I have tried thrice and not thickening after 1 hour 20 minutes, so I stopped too soon. I love condensed milk, am trying out again this morning
thank you Gemma! we can get condensed milk in the netherlands, but only in a certain amount ( 397 grams to be precicely), so i always have to throw away somwthing or have a little too less. but now i can make my own, i didn't even niw that was possible!
+SweetTreats aw I'm delighted because I was excited about making these. I think they are important for a universal audience who can buy the ingredients in stores.
Thank you so much for this! I'm lactose intolerant and I've never seen lactose-free condensed milk at the store, but I could just make it myself with lactose-free milk! (sweetened condensed milk is AWESOME in coffee! Can't wait to make some!)
This is excellent. This was also my first time trying it, actually, my first time trying to make any kind of dessert except for a cake/brownie out of the box. I'm trying to make a dessert that calls for sweetened condensed milk, and of course I don't have any. The one thing I would want to add to Gemma's advice; if you have a flat-top stove make sure your pan sits flat and not able to wobble around as mine did. I was so tempted to stir the milk because the simmer point in my pan was restricted to a very small area while the rest of the milk was not at a small simmer. By the time I noticed that was happening it was too late to switch pans. I never noticed how some of my pots and pans weren't totally flat until I got that stove. :)
Go for it! An important thing here is to follow the process to the letter. Here’s the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-dairy-free-condensed-milk/
I didn’t want to go to the store. Decided to see if someone had an easy way to make it. Perfect. Thanks! Mixing this with half and half for my coffee creamer!
Hi Gemma! I wanted to ask 2 questions and I would be pleased if you could answer them. 1.What happens if the milk starts to boil (for about 7minutes), but you put it to a simmer? 2. How long can it simmer for? Is 40 minutes the maximum? Or it can boil longer? Because mine has been simmering for 50 mins and it is still liquidy and whitish :/ THANK YOU!
I've been making this recipe for over three years it's simply amazing and works for any recipe I use it with popcorn, cheesecakes even ice cream ! I also add a teaspoon of vanilla tasts amazing ❤
Perfect recipe if your craving condensed milk for desert after a meal, but no cans in the pantry. Easy side project with dinner, 35 mins plus chill time.
Yes, probably the store bought ones has preservatives and a ton of unknown chemicals that's way more cheaper than preparing/making a tinsy cup for yourself 😂😂😂
I absolutely love that you make recipes four stuff like this, the big basic ingredients. I didn't know It could be made at home and its so useful to know!
I just like everything about making it homemade yourself they just make life much easier. Homemade powered sugar : just sugar and cornstarch. Homemade buttermilk : milk and lemon juice or white vinegar. Homemade heavy cream milk and butter. Homemade whipping cream :milk powdered sugar and vanilla essence or vanilla extract
@@doniaahmad7545 I love that but how is whipping cream made with milk, powdered sugar, & vanilla? Milk doesn’t whip? Btw the butter and milk one for heavy cream is great but remember you can’t whip it like normal heavy cream!
Depends on where one is from. Condensed milk and evaporated milk are the same thing where I grew up in the U. S. names are used interchangeably. Sweetened condensed milk on the other hand is known for it's delicious sweet thick texture. Btw, love your videos, Explanations are very clear and recipes are easy to duplicate. My nieces who are taking an interest in cooking love them.
It came out perfect. This is exactly like store bought condensed milk and cheaper. Use granulated sugar. It took a total 50 mins to come to the desired consistency. Very tasty
Made it with a can of coconut milk. It was SO easy. Just forgot about it on low for 45 min- 1 hr.and when I came back it was almost ready. And the ratio of sugar to milk was just right. It wasn't overly sweet or anything. Thank you :)
love this simple explanation and the lovely accent.... i have no issues with cow milk but gonna try it with almond milk to see what gives... thank you !
Hi I just love your recipies I'm just 11 years old and I love baking I tried your cake recipe it was awesome and no one believed that I made it Thankyou so much for sharing such good recipies I will suggest you all to try her recipies these all are so ooooo tasty
+Tamaits You absolutely can make this condensed milk using dairy free milks such as nut milks and coconut milk. Here is the recipe www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-dairy-free-condensed-milk/
YOU ARE SO inventive and creative and talented AND smart and awesome love that you explain as you go FOR some ONE LIKE ME WHO CAN NOT COOK.YOU are truly amazing thank you
This was excellent! And I recommended to my friends too. In fact this was much better than the store bought ones. My only concern is the texture was slightly like curd and not very smooth. What do you think could be the reason? Thanks.
I've seen other videos that say to constantly stir if the heat is too high as it'll curd at the bottom up. Could also be that the milk is going sour. Sour milk will turn solid when heated.
whatzpp him I was like this be'fore I know who can he:lp you out text him now he can solve your problem:: don't waste your time here.....🙏🙏❤️⏯+ (Two three four) nine one five five four five six one three eight ⏯⏯...
Gemma Stafford Thank you for replying ^_^ That's very interesting to me. Here where I live it is easier to find raw unpasteurized milk than the pasterized one. It's cheaper too!
Just take some normal liquid cream and mix it with a robot until it looks like whipped cream, you can also add some vanilla extract or some vanilla sugar. its really easy but it takes a bit of time if you dont have a robot
+no t cool The heavy cream is expensive. I tried whipping some chilled all purpose cream once since this is the only affordable cream, but it started melting after awhile. Didn't really work, so I avoid recipes which use whipped cream (which is a lot). :/
I’m learning how to make condensed milk for blini, because it was the first food my boyfriend’s mother made for me when we met, and It’s now become one of my favourite things to eat! (I’d never had condensed milk prior to her giving me some ❤)
Go for it. Focus on the method and I strong recommend you read the tips section too. Get the written recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-condensed-milk/#wprm-recipe-container-18414
Are there certain brands or ingredients you should avoid when making this with nut milks? Like, stabilizers for example, that make it not thicken properly?
I made this exactly how you did in the video. And it took almost 2 hrs to get this way. Not 35 minutes. I had it at a little less than medium heat. What did I do wrong?
Good question! Did your milk get to a gentle simmer? It is inevitable that this milk will condense given the right ingredients and the correct temperature. Confidence seems to help too. If the temperature is too low then that will not happen.
@@sarahqasim21 Sarah Qasim I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm from Pakistan,so that's why that's the country that came to mind. I've never been to India,nor am I aware of Indian lifestyle,so I didn't know that India has "doodh wala" as well. Plus, it's been a month since I commented this,so I don't quite remember why I only mentioned Pakistan,maybe because of the commenter's name. One more thing, can you really say that I assumed her nationality even though I only asked if she was from Pakistan? I didn't say that she must be Pakistani to say that.
You look very glowing and happy in this video .. I think your day was very refreshing and delightfully, the happiness showing on your face .. for ever and always Amen😙L♡VE U ... and thank you so much 🌹°^^
+ElseNoOone that is very sweet, I can tell you what it is. BBB videos takes a minimum of 6 hours to film. These Bold Baking Basics takes around 45 minutes. What you are seeing is a very happy, less stressed Gemma :)
thank you so much for this....this really saved my life during quarantine I really wanted to make the chocolate truffles but I needed condensed milk I go to every different store I still have no condensed milk...so I thought maybe I should make condensed milk by my self so I searched through youtube and I found you're channel...it was really easy to make only 2 ingredients....and it really worked it really needs some few hours to make this but waiting for 3 hours just to make this is so great I and it was a success I am so proud of my self...once again thank you so much..but the color is like white yellow or mostly white but it turned out thick in 3 hours and it was so sweet like a real condensed milk...
+Ruby Lewin You absolutely can make this condensed milk using dairy free milks such as nut milks and coconut milk. Here is the recipe www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-dairy-free-condensed-milk/ :)
I just made this Gemma and wooooow your recipe is full proof thank you for this recipe and did I mention how well it goes in the home made ice cream my gosh it's amazing
+Chica Cherry ColaBOOM! www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-dairy-free-condensed-milk/ This will bring you to coconut dairy free condensed milk and it's mad with the exact same method. It you wanted to use almond milk etc that will work the same way too.
Wanted to make a pizookie with ice cream. Didn’t have chocolate syrup, watched how to make that at home. Didn’t have ice cream, watched another video. And then again don’t have condensed milk and here I am. I hope I don’t need to look at another recipe, or I’ll end up not making it. 😅

well you can use regular sugar in ice cream from my experience, but you also have to use a substitute for condensed milk by taking 1 tbl spoon of milk powder and 3 tbl spoon of water.i made vanilla ice cram this way and it came out just perfect! it was creamy,not too sweet and tasted amazing! so if you dont have condensed milk you can also make ice cream this way.hope this helped :)
Thx so much. I didnt use it for ice cream I used it for donuts. I wanted to make breakfast in bed for my mom and stumbled across a donut recipe. I didnt even know what condenced milk was but u made it easy.
