Sweetened Condensed Milk: Powdered Milk Food Storage Recipes

Yes, it’s possible to easily make sweetened condensed milk from your powdered milk!  It tastes great, works well in your recipes AND costs approximately 75 cents for a “14 oz. can”.  That is cheaper than you can get it at Thanksgiving!  Sweetened condensed milk is a must for the summer months because you can make so many fun ice cream-like desserts that won’t heat up your house cooking it!  Just one more way you can make any recipe a food storage recipe! Make sure and watch this short video so you can see for yourself how EASY and SIMPLE it is to make your own Sweetened Condensed milk out of your powdered milk. 

Chocolate Ice Cream Cups- makes 1 1/2 dozen cups.

These are so easy (much easier than you would think) and really dress up your ice cream. The other great thing is that you can make a bunch and then freeze them a.k.a great for an everyday emergency and a great dessert!!

2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used white chocolate chips, but the semi-sweet are easier to use)
1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk (1 C. dry powdered milk, 1 C. sugar, 1/2 C. hot water, 1 T. Butter-blend in blender very well)
1 C. finely ground pecans (I used Oreos but again the nuts are easier)

1. In heavy sacuepan over low heat, melt chips with sweetened condensed milk; remove from heat. Stir in pecans. I n individual paper-lined muffin cups, spread about 2 T. chocolate mixture. With lightly greased spoon, spread chocolate on bottom and up side of each cup.

2. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Before sering remove paper liners. Fill chocolate cups with ice cream. Store un filled cups tightly covered in freezer.

Note: It is easier to remove the paper liners if the chocolate cups site at room temperature for about 5 minutes first.

    I have tried this and it works so well. It does turn out a little thinner than store bought sweetened condensed milk, but still works just as well. Oh, and I’ve done the ice cream cups you mentioned above. My husband and son loved them and so did I. Ever since finding your blog about a year ago I have used my food storage on a regular basis. I guess I just needed someone to encourage me by making it sound fun and easy. Thanks for being awesome.

    Not about the sweetened condensed milk, which is a great idea BTW, but just an everyday food storage emergency over the weekend I’d like to share with you. My parents were having a large family gathering and my mom was a bit distracted when loading the pressure cooker with potatoes. She forgot to add the water. . . oh dear. Not only no mashed potatoes, but ruined the pressure cooker. Well, luckily I remembered that she had some cans of potato pearls in the pantry. They were 10 yrs old, but they worked! There were a few picky people that wouldn’t eat them, but most of us didn’t care. I’d say that 10 years is a little long for potato pears, but I’m so glad that she had them to use! My sister-in-law was impressed and I referred her to your website for more great everyday uses for her food storage. Thanks for your continued inspiration and motivation on the food storage journey!

    Thank you, Crystal!

    I tried the condensed milk recipe & made a batch of my grandmother’s vanilla ice creme recipe. No one could tell noticed a difference in flavor or texture. My daughter wants to make another batch of ice cream already.

    Oh, I’d also love for you to visit Costco in Minneapolis or any other venue. You show up & I’ll be there.

    I tried the sweetened condensed milk recipe in Lemon Heaven Dessert Squares http://www.eaglebrand.com/detail.asp?rid=1155 and used whole wheat flour instead of white. The only complaints I got were why I didn’t have the foresight to make a double batch!!

    Help!
    I have several number 10 cans of crystallized instant milk. In your cookbook you said that I need to double the amount of powdered milk if I am using instant, but everything comes out way too thick and grainy. Is there a difference between regular instant milk and crystallized, and if so, how much should I use? I am dying to try some of the recipes, but I can't figure out how much of the crystallized powdered milk I should be using. Any suggestions you have would be wonderful. If it helps, The directions say to add 2 and 2/3 cups milk for 1 gallon of milk, and 2/3 cup for 1 quart of water.

    Ok, so after doing some research, and the math I figured it out! Yah!! If you have crystallized instant powdered milk, you will need to make some adjustments to the amount of powdered milk that is called for in the recipes. I hope this helps anyone else who was confused like me. I excited to try some of the recipes again and see how they turn out with the right amount of powdered milk!

    Milk Needed Water Dry non-instant Powdered Milk Crystallized Instant Powdered Milk
    1 cup 1 cup 3 Tablespoons 8 tsp or 2 T. + 2 t.
    3/4 cup 3/4 cup 2 ¼ Tablespoons 6 tsp or 2 T.
    2/3 cup 2/3 cup 2 Tablespoons 5 1/3 t. or 1 T. + 2 1/3 t.
    1/2 cup 1/2 cup 1 ½ Tablespoons 4 tsp or 1 T. + 1 t.
    1/3 cup 1/3 cup 1 Tablespoon 2 ½ t.
    1/4 cup 1/4 cup ¾ Tablespoon 2 t.

    These are the conversions for common measurements found in some of the recipes.

    Non instant Crystallized Instant
    2 cups 1 ¾ c. + 1 tsp.
    1 cup 3/4 c. + 2 T. + ½ tsp.
    2/3 cup 1/2 c. + 1 T. + 1 ½ tsp.
    1/2 cup 1/4 c. + 3 T. + ¼ tsp.
    1/3 cup 1/4 c. + 2 ¼ tsp.
    1/4 c. 3 T. + 1 ½ tsp.
    4 ½ T. 4 T.
    4 T. 3 T. + 1 1/2 tsp.
    3 T. 2 T. + 2 tsp.
    2 T. 1 T. + 2 1/4 tsp.
    1 T. 2 1/2 tsp.
    3/4 T. 2 tsp.
