Condensed Milk

Condensed milk is cow's milk from which approximately 60% of the water has been evaporated, and in the sweetened version it is also enriched with sugar. The result is a thick, creamy liquid with a distinctly sweet taste and lightly caramelised notes. It is used as a base for desserts, such as dulce de leche caramel, condensed milk cake, tropical ice creams or Filipino sweets. It is added to coffee, iced tea, or used as a drizzle over pancakes and fruit. Due to its high sugar content, it has a longer shelf life and can be stored at room temperature before opening.
