Condensed milk is a shelf-stable, thick, and sweet product made by evaporating about 60% of the water from fresh milk and adding sugar. This process creates a concentrated, creamy liquid with a distinct caramelized flavor. It has a smooth, velvety texture and a pale yellow color. Because of its high sugar content, condensed milk is used extensively in baking and desserts, providing both sweetness and a rich, moist texture. It's often confused with evaporated milk, but condensed milk is always sweetened. Find recipes using sweetened condensed milk for all your dessert needs.

Unopened cans of condensed milk should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, transfer the condensed milk to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. Consume within 1-2 weeks for best quality. While freezing is possible, it can alter the texture, making it grainy upon thawing; it's generally not recommended unless necessary for a specific recipe.
