Video: how to cook condensed milk

Sep 30, 2015 I myself

Condensed milk is a favorite product that can be eaten raw or boiled. The first condensed milk was invented by the French cook Nicolas Appert, who in 1810 discovered that juice boiled in cans has the ability to retain its taste, color, aroma and consistency for a long time.

But the Frenchman did not stop at such research. He found out that milk is stored in sealed cans for a long time, and when boiled, the cans do not burst. The invention was patented only in 1856, but by an American. Eight years later, the first canned milk plant was opened in the United States.

In his native country, the product was obtained in Orenburg - at a plant where a blue and white label, known to many since Soviet times, was hung on a tin can. Already in those days, the hostesses knew exactly how to cook condensed milk in cans.

If milk is stored in a jar with a fat content of 8%, then it will take 1.5-2 hours to cook condensed milk over medium heat. In this case, the fatty condensed milk (8.5%) is subjected to a longer boil - 2-2.5 hours. It is necessary to constantly monitor during this period that the water completely covers the jar.

How to cook condensed milk

Regular recipe

1. Pour water into a saucepan, set it on fire.
2. Lower the jar into the water so that the liquid completely covers the product.
3. The water should boil. After that, you need to reduce the gas so that the water continues to boil slowly in the pan.
4. Water will need to be added as it cooks.
5. The jar will need to cool in water.

in a glass jar

There is also a product “in glass” on store shelves. You can also pour as much of the product into the glass jar as needed. This method will allow you not only to get boiled condensed milk, but also to monitor the cooking process.

in the microwave

1. The product is pre-poured into a suitable container.
2. The dishes are installed in the microwave oven.
3. Condensed milk is brewed in microwave oven at full power for a quarter of an hour.
4. Every 1-2 minutes, the mass will need to be mixed well.

• So that during cooking the jar does not swell and the milk inside it does not curdle, you need to constantly monitor the temperature, as well as the water level. Strong overheating of water is unacceptable.
• Boiled condensed milk has a caramel or chocolate color. To get a thick mixture and a pleasant dark shade, the product needs to be cooked for less than 3-3.5 hours.
• The calorie content of boiled condensed milk is the same as that of a canned product.
• To choose the right product in the bank, you need to study the composition of the product. It is allowed to use only milk fat in condensed milk. If vegetable fat is also indicated on the label, then the product already contains starch, which will invariably spoil the taste of condensed milk.

How to cook condensed milk in a jar

Boiled condensed milk is one of the main delicacies of my childhood. Thick, insanely tasty, with an unforgettable caramel flavor. This magical delicate taste can not be confused with anything! Buying a jar of "Varenki" in a store is not a problem, only it only vaguely resembles the one from childhood. This can only be cooked by yourself. It would seem, what could be simpler? I remember very well how my mother did it: she filled the jars of condensed milk with water and cooked it for a long, long time. This is exactly what I thought at first. But when the condensed milk was already in my hands and ready for cooking, a lot of questions immediately arose: is it necessary to remove the label? how then to wash the saucepan from the glue from the jar? how much water to pour? what does "slow boil" mean and how strong / light should the water boil? and (worst of all) what if the bank explodes? I confess that my resolve here diminished a little. But since I had already managed to promise the homemade sweets, it was too late to retreat. Prepared everything you need - and to the point. The process turned out to be expectedly long, but not at all difficult and not so scary.

To begin with, I would like to separately note those moments that seemed to me the most "terrible", so that you definitely do not stumble on them. And then I will tell you in detail how to cook condensed milk in a jar at home so that you will definitely succeed the first time.

1. Boiling condensed milk is the most reliable way check its quality. Therefore, no matter how trite it may sound, the success of the event directly depends on whether you manage to get a high-quality initial product. As practice shows, the inscription "GOST" on the label, the correct marking and the ideal composition (whole milk + sugar), unfortunately, are by no means an indicator of quality. And until you weld the jar, you will not know what is really inside. Condensed milk with additives ( powdered milk, vegetable oils, etc.) will not cook or thicken even in the freezer, no matter how much you boil it! For example, only 2 of the jars I brewed turned out to be of really high quality.

3. Cooking time depends on the intensity of boiling, the volume of the can and the desired degree of boil - the longer you cook, the thicker and richer the boiled condensed milk will turn out. I would advise you to cook for at least 2.5 hours and no more than 4. Ideally, the temperature and boiling time are 103 degrees and 100 minutes. respectively. If the fat content of condensed milk is higher than 8.5%, it needs to cook longer.

• whole condensed milk with sugar, fat content 8.5% - the right amount cans,
• water (for cooking) - about 2-3 liters.

How to cook condensed milk in a tin can at home

The first step is to remove the label from the can. It's not that very important, but with such a long boil, it will still come off. Plus, the water from the label will definitely color, and can also color the saucepan in which the condensed milk is cooked.

Then we put on a dense cellophane bag on the "undressed" jar. This will protect the saucepan from the adhesive on which the label is attached. During cooking, this glue melts and leaves traces on the sides of the pan, which are not so easy to clean.

We put a jar of condensed milk in a saucepan (vertically) and fill it with cold water. This is important because the tin does not like sudden changes in temperature. The jar should be heated gradually, along with the water. The water should completely hide the condensed milk. In order not to add water, I immediately pour more - so that the water level is about 5-6 cm higher.

We put the pan on maximum heat, close the lid and leave it until it boils. As soon as it starts to boil - switch the heating to low. I have this position 3 of 6 on the switch, but it all depends on individual characteristics your stove. The water in the pot should be boiling slowly. We leave the lid closed - this creates the necessary languishing effect, plus this way the water evaporates much more slowly. For an hour of such boiling, the water level decreased by about 5-7 mm.

We measure the time from the moment of boiling. I set a timer so that I don't accidentally forget about the can.

As soon as the condensed milk has boiled off for the right time, turn off the stove and, without draining the water, let the water (and the condensed milk in it) cool down a little. Then, after 1-2 hours, the boiled condensed milk can be removed from the water and from the cellophane bag.

After cooling, the boiled condensed milk is completely ready for use! Eat it with spoons straight from the jar, or use it to make desserts and baked goods. It tastes good in any way!

How to cook condensed milk at home

Modern housewives are accustomed to buying almost everything in the store, and boiled condensed milk is no longer in short supply.

How much to cook condensed milk in a jar, and how to prevent general cleaning in the kitchen with washing off the sweet milk-caramel mass from the walls and ceiling - these are not idle questions.

Therefore, do not deviate from the algorithm below:

1. Put a can of condensed milk in a large saucepan and fill it with water to the maximum possible level, so as not to frequently add water during the cooking process. Send the pan to the stove and wait for the active gurgling of water.
2. After boiling, cook condensed milk for a couple of hours, if in the future it is planned to use it for making creams in cakes or pastries. To get a thicker and darker composition (for example, for filling "nuts"), it is necessary to cook condensed milk for about an hour longer.
3. During the cooking process, you need to ensure that the jar does not "become exposed" and, if necessary, add hot water to the pan. After finishing the heat treatment, the jar should be left to cool in the water in which it was cooked. Meeting these two conditions will help you avoid an epic explosion.

When choosing condensed milk for cooking, you need to carefully study its composition on the label. A quality product should not include anything other than dairy products and sugar. Condensed milk with palm oil in the composition, it is better to remain on the store shelf.

Boiled condensed milk with your own hands

Boiled condensed milk can be made not only from a store product. It is quite possible to make it from sugar and whole cow's milk, while spending not much more time than with the classical method.

For one and a half liters of homemade boiled condensed milk, you should take:

• 3,000 ml whole cow's milk (better homemade than store-bought);
• 1000 g granulated sugar;
• 45 ml lemon juice;
• 5 g of baking soda.

Cooking method:

1. Put the milk with sugar in a saucepan of a suitable capacity on the fire and heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. When the composition boils, remove the pan from the stove, add lemon juice and soda to its contents. The milk will begin to foam actively. It should now be stirred vigorously and returned to the fire.
3. From the moment of re-boiling, note the time and boil the condensed milk over medium heat for three hours. During this time, the milk will darken and thicken.
4. During the cooking process, it is necessary not only to periodically mix the composition, but also to take a sample for readiness. If a drop of milk does not spread on a cold saucer, the boiled condensed milk is ready. The finished product should be poured into half-liter jars for further storage.

Cooking in the oven

Condensed milk, which is sold not in cans, but in tetra packs, cannot be cooked in a saucepan in the classical way. For such a product, cooking in the oven is more suitable.

The sequence of actions will be as follows:

1. Pour condensed milk into a metal or glass heat-resistant container and cover this container on top with a sheet of food foil.
2. Place the container with milk in another container with water so that the liquid level reaches the middle of the height of the condensed milk in the mold.
3. Then put the condensed milk for 2 - 3 hours in the oven preheated to 200 degrees. If necessary, add boiled water during the cooking process. Remove the boiled condensed milk from the oven, release it from the foil and use it as directed.

The easiest way in the microwave

Owners of microwave ovens should know how to cook condensed milk using this device. Moreover, the whole process will take no more than 8 minutes.

The algorithm for cooking in a microwave oven is as follows:

1. Pour condensed milk into a ceramic or glass dish and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. The power of the device should be set at 700W.
2. After the sound signal, stir the condensed milk and send it back to the microwave for 2 minutes. It is important to ensure that the milk does not escape and that it warms up evenly, so it is imperative to stir it. Repeat this periodic heating no more than 4 times.

Having brought the product to the desired consistency and color, it can be used for its direct culinary purpose.

Of course, there is natural boiled condensed milk just with a spoon - a pleasure that cannot be achieved, even with the help of the “heavenly” Bounty bar. However, even more delicious treat there may be baked goods with condensed milk. Cakes, pastries, cookies with such a component come out just fabulously tasty.

How much to cook condensed milk in a jar at home. How to cook a can of condensed milk in a saucepan

How much to cook condensed milk in a jar until brown? Condensed milk, or condensed milk, is concentrated cow's milk from which water is removed, usually with added sugar. It is a sweet, thick product with a caramel flavor; the most common type of packaging is a tin can, which allows condensed milk to be stored without a refrigerator for a year before opening.

If you pour a can of condensed milk with water and boil it over low heat, you get boiled condensed milk. A lesser known name is dulce de leche; literally translated from Spanish as "milk jam". Today we will talk about how much condensed milk needs to be boiled in a jar in time.

It is not for nothing that boiled condensed milk is considered a universal product: it is smeared on toasts, creams are made on its basis for cakes with butter, sour cream or cream, used to decorate muffins, stuffed with chocolate cupcakes, smeared with cookies, added to tea or coffee, or eaten just like that ...

DoughVed advises. Even the most novice cook can figure out how to cook condensed milk in an iron can at home, however, even in such a simple recipe, it is imperative to adhere to some key recommendations so that the condensed milk can does not explode during cooking.

So, there are two basic rules that must be remembered every time before you cook condensed milk in a tin can at home.

There are two reasons to strictly adhere to this recommendation during cooking.

First, the water physically does not heat up to more than 100 o C. Accordingly, cans containing condensed milk and completely immersed in water will not heat up above this temperature either. Even if the jars heat up a little more from contact with the bottom of the pan in which they are being cooked, the surrounding water will “take” the extra heat onto itself.

However, if you allow some of the water to evaporate, the cans gain access to open air, which leads to overheating. From significant heating, the caramelized milk expands and begins to press on the walls of the can, which may not withstand the pressure and burst.

Secondly, water in this cooking method actually acts as a water bath. When the cans are completely immersed in water, the milk caramelization process is more uniform.

That is why, during the entire cooking, you need to constantly monitor that there is always enough water in the pan.

In fact, the second rule directly follows from the first: the caramel formed during cooking increases in volume due to heating, therefore, if you open the can immediately, without waiting for it to cool, you can get a whole fountain of scalding hot condensed milk.

To avoid scalding, always cool the jars to room temperature before opening them.

Boiled condensed milk at home - how and how much to cook over time in a tin can until brown.

Although the process is quite simple, if you adhere to all the rules, it takes a lot of time for how much to cook condensed milk in a jar until brown, so it is better to cook at least 3-5 jars at once and store them in finished form.

For more information on how to store iron cans of boiled condensed milk at home, read the tips at the end of the recipe.

Despite the fact that many housewives roughly know how much to cook condensed milk in a jar, they do not always follow the rules for preparing the product. This often ends in accidents, the results of which have to be wiped off the walls within a few hours. In fact, it is not so difficult to cook a delicacy, so beloved by many, and actively used in confectionery.

Today, condensed milk is not only cooked in a saucepan. Now it can be done in a multicooker, pressure cooker, microwave. If necessary, there are options for preparing an already open product. Of course, you don't even need to figure out how to cook condensed milk correctly, because today it is sold ready-made. But practice shows that the most delicious product remains, boiled with your own hands in a tin can.

How to choose the right condensed milk for boiling?

Particular attention must be paid to the process of choosing milk, otherwise all efforts may be in vain. The enduring popularity of the product has led some manufacturers to try to save money on its production. Sometimes even in the store you can buy the most real fake which after heat treatment in a slow cooker or microwave turns into a mixture that is unpleasant in taste, which is also dangerous to health.

To prevent this from happening, when buying condensed milk, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Product Name. For cooking, and just use in its original form, it is better to take "condensed milk with sugar", it is allowed to add the word "whole". All other variations indicate that the product is not prepared according to standards and most likely contains flavors or components of plant origin.
• Manufacturing standard marking. The best option is GOST marking. There is also a TU marking, but it indicates the presence in the composition of plant components in significant quantities, which in this case is not welcome.
• Shelf life of milk. If it exceeds one year, then the presence of preservatives is guaranteed. This in itself is bad, it is still not clear how the mass will react to boiling in a microwave, multicar or some other type of processing.
• Marking on the tin lid. It is good if it is not applied, but knocked out, moreover, from the inside. In the inscription, the first place should be the letter M and four numbers. The third and fourth should be 76, which indicates the high quality of the product.

Tip: Regardless of whether you plan to cook condensed milk or consume it in its pure form, you should not take the product packaged in plastic bags. Real condensed milk can only be in an iron can. It is this packaging that allows you to preserve the product as long as possible, in the production of which no harmful additives were used.

• The quality of the packaging. The presence of chips, traces of deformation or cracks is unacceptable.

Don't get hung up on the cost of the product. A high price does not always indicate the required degree of quality, and a low price does not always mean that the seller, for some reason, is trying to quickly get rid of the product. The main thing is that the condensed milk meets all the requirements listed above.

Basic rules for the preparation of the product

Before you cook condensed milk at home, you need to consider a number of points. This is especially true for those housewives who do not risk using approaches with preparing the mass in a multicooker, pressure cooker or microwave.

1. It takes no more than an hour to obtain a pale brown and still quite fluid composition. A dark, thick and rich product is obtained after 3.5 hours of cooking. Depending on how much condensed milk is cooked, not only its color and consistency, but also its taste change. Aged composition rarely goes directly to food, it is usually used for the preparation of creams.
2. If liquid evaporates during cooking, it must be replenished. Moreover, exclusively hot water is used for this, otherwise an explosion is possible.
3. After the required time has been aged, there is no need to rush to open the boiled condensed milk. It is better to leave it in the same water until it cools completely. Then the jar will not pop when opened, and the milk itself will turn out to be more tasty.
4. Before you cook condensed milk in a jar in any of the possible ways, you should read its composition. Optimum product consistency is possible when the milk fat content is 8%.

After the condensed milk has been selected and all the secrets of the process have been studied, you need to proceed directly to boiling it. At home, this can be done in one of several ways.

The traditional method of boiling condensed milk and using a multicooker

Cooking condensed milk in a saucepan is quite simple. You need to put a jar without a label on its side in the selected container and fill it with cold water. We put the structure on high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Then we reduce the heat to a minimum. After that, it remains only to keep the composition as long as necessary, monitoring the water level in the pan. If after some time the color of the water in the jar has changed or a leak is found, the manipulation must be stopped immediately.

To prepare condensed milk in a multicooker, the following stages of work have to be performed:

• Remove the label from the jar, wipe the iron surface with a damp sponge. We cover the bowl of the device with a cloth to prevent scratches on the non-stick surface.
• We put the jar on the bottom or lay it on its side. Fill it with water just above the jar itself, but below the maximum allowed for the bowl.
• It is good if the multicooker has a steam outlet valve. It must be closed, then the water will practically not boil away.
• Bring the water to a boil using the "Fry" or "Boil" mode. Then we close the lid of the appliance, set the “Multipovar” or “Quenching” mode (the temperature in the multicooker should be kept within 100-105ºС).

Contrary to popular belief, a multicooker cannot cook condensed milk very quickly. Here, again, you will have to spend at least 2-3 hours to get a thick and saturated mass.

How can you weld an already open can?

If condensed milk is in an improperly opened jar or was bought in a package, then you will not be able to cook it in a pressure cooker, saucepan or multicooker. You will have to do it in the microwave or use the principle of a water bath. This is what the second option would look like:

• Pour milk into a glass jar, but do not fill it to the eyeballs. Put a cloth napkin on the bottom of the pot for water and put a can of condensed milk 9 on it to ensure uniform heating). We fill the pan with water so that its level is higher than the level of condensed milk in the jar.
• We just cover the jar with a lid and do not screw it on. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to a minimum. We make sure that the water level never drops below the level of condensed milk, this is fraught with pops or an explosion.

With this approach, you can act not even in time, but simply monitor the status of the product. Despite the fact that this processing technique can theoretically be carried out in a multicooker, you should not risk the device.

Processing condensed milk in a pressure cooker and microwave

The indisputable advantage of using a pressure cooker is the fact that there is no need to constantly monitor the process of preparing condensed milk. But do not think that the method shortens the preparation time of the treat. The manipulation technique is as follows:

1. We put the can with the product in the pressure cooker, fill it with water, not exceeding the maximum level allowed for the device.
2. We lower the lid, start the device, after the water boils, wait only 15 minutes and turn off the device.
3. Now it remains to wait until closed lid the water will cool completely. This will take about 2-3 hours.

The fastest way to cook boiled condensed milk is in the microwave. True, the device will have to be vigilantly monitored so as not to miss the right moment or prevent an accident. We open the can, pour the milk into a container made of a suitable material, it should not be filled. Boil the product for half an hour (the power in the microwave should be at least 400 W). An additional inconvenience is that every couple of minutes the device must be stopped and the composition mixed, otherwise it will burn. On the other hand, with this approach, it becomes possible to monitor the state of the product.

Regardless of how the cooked mass was prepared, it is necessary to evaluate its final appearance, taste and smell. If, as a result of processing, the composition has a bitter taste, then most likely it was overexposed or burnt (this is especially characteristic when boiling in the microwave). Any unpleasant odor notes indicate that a stale component was originally used. And the presence of multi-colored spots indicates a low quality of the composition, the presence of harmful ingredients or a violation of the milk production technique.

There are many techniques thanks to which boiled condensed milk, an indispensable product for baking, can acquire a richer taste, caramel color and a thick, creamy consistency. You can make it yourself from cream or milk, or use an oven, multicooker and microwave to quickly bring store products to perfection.

How to cook condensed milk in a tin can: the "Classic" recipe

It is quite easy to cook condensed milk if you know the basic secrets of cooking and the features of the product itself. When deciding on the cooking time, remember that the fat content factor of the milk will be decisive.

If condensed milk has a fat content of 8%, then it takes 1.5-2 hours to cook it in an iron can, if the percentage of fat content in milk is higher, then the time needs to be increased to 2-2.5 hours.

Classic rules for boiling condensed milk in a can:

1. Pour water into a saucepan, put the container on fire.
2. We lower the jar in water, but so that the liquid completely covers it.
3. Bring water to a boil over medium to high heat. As soon as the water boils, we reduce the flame, almost to a minimum, and continue to cook the condensed milk further. The water in the saucepan should not boil much.
4. During the cooking process, make sure that the water does not completely evaporate, otherwise the jar with sweet contents will "explode". As the liquid evaporates, it is necessary to gradually add a new portion of water to the pan.

Immediately after cooking, we do not remove the can of condensed milk from the hot water. It is necessary for the milk to cool directly in the pan. Do not shift it to cold water... On average, it can take from 1 to 2 hours to cool down, but this method will save the jar from damage.

During the cooking process, add only hot water to the pan. Sudden changes in temperature can cause the can to burst.
Therefore, in parallel with the container for boiling condensed milk, put a container with clean water on the stove, heating which, you will gradually add to the pan where a tin can with condensed milk is cooked.

In order to correctly answer the question: how long does it take to cook condensed milk, you must first answer yourself - what kind of condensed milk you want to get and for what purpose you plan to use it.

If you like a not too thick sweetness or want to use it as a basis for cooking chocolate sausages, cakes, pastries, etc., then you need to cook semi-liquid milk.

• To do this, cook condensed milk in an iron can for no more than 1 hour over moderate heat.
• Planning to get a moderately thick consistency, with a pleasant milky tinge, it will be necessary to cook condensed milk for about 2-3 hours.
• To obtain a very thick mass, the color of fresh coffee with milk, the brewing time will have to be increased to 4 hours.

Condensed delicacies are not always sold in cans, sometimes, you can find it on store shelves in glass containers.

How to cook condensed milk in this case and is it even worth cooking in a glass dish? Certainly worth it, moreover, this cooking option has more advantages than cooking boiled water in an iron can.

During the boiling process, metal containers form oxides that are unsafe for human health.

In addition, under the influence of hot temperatures, the tin coating of the can collapses and harmful substances are released from it, directly into the condensed milk.

That is why it is preferable to cook your favorite delicacy not in a tin can, but in glass dishes, or even without a can at all - in some enameled saucepan or bowl.

How and how much to cook condensed milk in a glass jar

1. Put a glass container with condensed milk in an empty saucepan.
2. Cover the container loosely with a lid. It is desirable that the lid is larger in diameter than the diameter of the glassware itself. If you close the container tightly, then during the cooking process it may burst.
3. Pour so much cold water into a saucepan so that it reaches the level of condensed milk in a jar.
4. We put the pan on the fire, wait for the water to boil.
5. As soon as boiling bubbles appear on the water, reduce the flame to a minimum.
6. In this mode, cook the product for 3.5 hours. You do not need to stir the condensed milk during the cooking process.

Watch the liquid in the pan and do not forget to add hot water to it every 20-30 minutes. When the delicacy is cooked, we leave it to cool in a saucepan.

According to the above principle, it is convenient to cook draft condensed milk. But what to do if the draft product was not sold to you in a glass jar, but, for example, in a plastic bottle.

Is it possible to boil condensed milk in such a container?

It is possible, however, it is highly undesirable to do this. There is a high enough risk that the plastic will melt during cooking, and harmful substances will begin to be released from it, which can be hazardous to health.

That is why it is better to cook the purchased draft condensed milk in glassware, or even cook it without a can, for example, in the microwave.

One of the simplest and quick ways condensed milk cooking is cooking milk in a microwave oven. Time is needed 15-30 minutes, no more, everything will depend on what density of the product you want to achieve. After all, the longer you cook, the thicker it turns out.

2. After pouring the condensed milk into a bowl, cover it with a lid (not tightly) and place it inside the microwave for 15-20 minutes.
   

   Cook on medium power and remember to stir from time to time. It is important that the dessert is cooked evenly and that nothing burns in the process.

All the time you can monitor the cooking result and determine by the color whether the condensed milk has been cooked or not. By controlling the result, you yourself will decide how long to cook condensed milk - 10-15 minutes or about half an hour.

You can quickly cook condensed milk at home using a modern pressure cooker. This will take 10 minutes of time, a can of condensed milk that meets all GOST standards, and the pressure cooker itself.

Cooking steps

1. We put the jar in a pressure cooker, fill it with water so that the container with the sweetness "drowned" in the water.
2. Bring the liquid to a boil and boil the milk for 10-12 minutes.
3. Do not open the lid of the pressure cooker immediately after cooking, wait until the jar has completely cooled down in water.

Carefully monitor the temperature of the water in the pot while boiling. The liquid must not be allowed to overheat too much, this can provoke the clotting of condensed milk or deformation of the jar.

Recipes with boiled condensed milk

Since childhood, we remember the taste of our favorite anthill or tubes with boiled condensed milk. But there are many others original recipes worth trying. Households will definitely like it.

Cheesecakes stuffed with boiled condensed milk

Mix 8 tablespoons of semolina with 3 tablespoons of sugar and 0.5 kg of cottage cheese. To form cakes from the resulting dough, hands must be moistened with water. Put a teaspoon of boiled condensed milk inside the cake and cover it with another cake. Roll the syrnik obtained in this way in flour and fry in a large number vegetable oil.

For the cream, beat 50 g of butter at room temperature with 50 g of boiled condensed milk. Crust, which should already be cooled down, crumble and mix with cream. Form small balls from this mass and remove them for an hour in the cold.

Dark and milk chocolate Melt 150 g each in a water bath. The two can be mixed or used separately. The stick is dipped in melted chocolate mass. A frozen ball is put on it and again put into the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

The balls are again dipped in chocolate and decorated with confiture. They should solidify again in this form. To preserve their appetizing appearance, the cakes can be stuck into a Styrofoam plate and kept in the refrigerator until the holiday.

Crushed walnuts can be added already to the cream. Each cake is generously coated with a creamy mass. The last cake does not need to be greased. The cake should be wrapped in foil, put oppression on top and sent to the refrigerator for a day. As a result, the dessert soaked in this way will be very tender.

Each dish has its own secrets. Do not be afraid to cook condensed milk at home and pamper your loved ones.

Each person has delicacies that have been loved since childhood. Maybe they no longer give such pleasure as they did many years ago, but each time they remind of happy years. Boiled condensed milk is the apotheosis of the delight of little gourmets. They are the ones who prefer to eat it with spoons. Well, adults use more as a cream, dessert. Today this delicacy can be bought in any store, but it tastes differently. Or maybe it's better to make boiled condensed milk with your own hands? By the way, in previous years they did not sell ready-made boiled condensed milk, her mother did it. Why don't we try a treat prepared in our own kitchen too? Moreover, there are quite enough recipes.

The classic way
Keep in mind - this is the most common, but also the most dangerous recipe. The slightest oversight - and a can of condensed milk will explode. So be careful.
This option requires a can of factory milk. We put it in a saucepan, pour water so that the jar drowns in it. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for 3 - 4 hours. The water level should be monitored, periodically adding as it boils. Time is up, take the can out of the pan, let the milk cool down, open it - and enjoy the delicate brown fudge!

Boiled condensed milk with your own hands
Be prepared for the fact that this method will take a lot of time and labor, and will require special care. However, the result is such that you will not regret your decision to make boiled condensed milk at home. After opening another jar of our favorite delicacy at home, we sigh: the taste is not the same, and it is not known what additives are there. So we will do everything ourselves.

We take two liters of 3% fresh milk (as a last resort, in bags or bottles). You will also need 0.5 kg of sugar, a little vanilla (if you like it) and one teaspoon of baking soda. It is advisable to cook in a copper basin, if you cannot find one, you can use a saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour milk into a bowl, add vanillin. We put milk on fire, bring to a boil and pour sugar and soda mixed with a little water into it.

The milk continues to boil, and our task is to stir it vigorously. It will take a long time to cook - at least two hours. When you notice that the milk thickens and changes color, the fire should be lowered. As soon as the cooking time has passed, the dishes with milk must be placed in a large container filled with cold water and kept there for ten minutes, stirring constantly.

That's all. Cool the boiled condensed milk completely, and you can take a sample from the aromatic unique delicacy, which you cannot buy in a store! Those with a sweet tooth will probably want to eat it neat, well, and homemade confectioners will definitely use it as a cream for waffle cake or pastries.

Cooking condensed milk in the oven
This is also a very common method. Pour a can of store-bought condensed milk into a heat-resistant saucepan. Next, take a high baking sheet or just a large form, fill it with water and place a container with milk in it. The water should be about half the level of the condensed milk.
We cover the pan with foil and put the whole structure in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. We are waiting for 2-3 hours. The timing depends on how dark you want the finished treat to be. Check periodically to see if the water has boiled away. If necessary, you need to add it. The timer signaled the end of the process - we take out a baking sheet with a saucepan from the oven, remove the foil and stir the milk mass. As soon as it cools down, you can start the feast.

Boiled condensed milk from the microwave
Those who are especially impatient can make boiled condensed milk at home much faster. But this will require a microwave oven.
Open a can of condensed milk, pour it into a microwave oven. We put the pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes using the medium power setting. I must say that store condensed milk can be of different quality, so the cooking time for "boiled milk" may not be the same, you may have to add a few minutes. You need to navigate by the color of boiled condensed milk. Further, as in other recipes, we cool and feast on yummy.

Using a pressure cooker
This method will appeal to those who do not want to constantly monitor the cooking process.
Fill the pressure cooker with cold water, put a can of condensed milk there. The water should cover it completely. Close the pressure cooker and set it on high heat. From the moment the water boils, 12 minutes should pass. We turn off the unit. Let the water cool down. After that, we take out the jar, open it - and eat it together.

You can cook condensed milk in a slow cooker
To do this, you need to take a can of store milk, best of all marked "GOST". Open it, pour the contents into a glass jar and close the lid. Cover the bottom of the saucepan with a cloth to avoid scratching the bottom. We put a jar in a multicooker, pour water to about half the milk level. Close the lid and select the "Stew" or "Milk porridge" program, setting the time to 4 hours. Click "Start". The process has begun, however, not fast, but this is the property of this household appliance. There is no need to open the lid and add water - it does not evaporate from the multicooker. The readiness signal sounded - carefully take out the can, cool it, and then, as in the previous recipes.

If the result disappoints you
Rarely, but it happens that it is not possible to make boiled condensed milk of good quality at home. And this happens for one of two reasons. You bought not very high-quality condensed milk, which contained too many impurities. A good one should consist of milk with a fat content of at least 8 percent and sugar, or you simply did not cook the condensed milk, you let too little time go into the process. There is such a regularity: the longer the condensed milk is cooked, the thicker, darker and, accordingly, tastier it is.

1. First of all, for boiled condensed milk to have the best result, it is important to choose the right one. Buy products labeled "GOST" on the packaging. If there is a "TU" icon, it means that milk contains all kinds of additives, incl. chemical origin. Also, do not take crumpled cans, because dangerous bacteria can enter the interior and cause spoilage of the condensed milk.

2. Also, look at the label for the composition of the condensed milk. It should contain only milk and sugar.

3. Next, properly prepare a can of condensed milk for cooking. To do this, remove the paper label.

4. There may be traces of glue on the jar, which must be completely removed.

5. To do this, gently rub the jar with a stiff metal brush so as not to damage it and wash the container thoroughly.

6. Next, proceed to cooking. This requires a large saucepan. Since the milk takes several hours to cook, the water will inevitably boil away. If you need to add it, then only hot water. But this process is quite troublesome. Therefore, it is better to immediately take a large container for cooking so that there is enough water for the entire cooking time.

If you still have to pour boiling water, then in no case pour it directly onto the jar. Try to get into the gap between the container and the wall of the dish. This will reduce the temperature contrast. If part tin can will not be covered with water and will not top up in time, then the condensed milk will inevitably explode and stain the kitchen badly.

7. So, having decided on the pan, put a can of condensed milk in it and fill it with water so that it is at least 5-7 cm above the level. Put it on the stove and turn on a strong fire. After boiling water, reduce the gas and cook the milk for the required number of hours. If you need to cook two cans at once, then put a silicone mat on the bottom of the pan so that they do not roll and do not come into contact with each other.

8. Condensed milk can be cooked in a jar for a different amount of time. The specific cooking time directly depends on the fat content of the raw material. For example, milk with a fat content of 8-8.5% will be ready in 1.5-2 hours, more than 8.5% in 2-2.5 hours. The higher the fat content, the longer the condensed milk will cook. You can see the fat content of the milk you bought on the label.

Also, focus on the following indicators for boiling condensed milk in a can with a fat content of 8.5%. After 1 hour of cooking, the condensed milk will be liquid and beige, 2 hours - it will acquire a medium density and light brown color, 3 hours - it will become thick and brown, 4 hours - it will turn into a dense clot of chocolate color.

After a certain time, turn off the stove and leave the jar in water until it cools completely. You do not need to transfer it to cold water. Otherwise, the bank may burst. Open a chilled can of boiled condensed milk and enjoy the excellent taste!

Note:
Condensed milk can be cooked not only on the stove in a saucepan, but also in other appliances.

• In a pressure cooker the cooking process will not be much faster than in a saucepan. But on the other hand, protect the kitchen as much as possible from the explosion of the can, and you will not need to worry about the boiled water. To do this, put water in a pressure cooker, put condensed milk in it, boil and turn off the heat after 15 minutes. The lid must be tightly closed. Wait for the water to cool. Condensed milk will cook in a pressure cooker for at least 3 hours.
