But, it is so easy and CHEAP to make, that I thought I would share the recipe on here.
I love coffee, and lots of it...I wish that I could take my coffee black, it would save some calories, but NO WAY! Can't do it.
I was buying sweetened condensed milk (1.65 for the cheap stuff!!) to make my own little coffee creamer concoction. No, not healthy at all, yes, I do realize this and I am ok with it...I will endure that for my coffee.
BUT, then I was curious to know how easy it would be to make my own sweetened condensed milk. Searched on Pinterest, since you know, you can find just about anything there.
AWESOME!! I had all the ingredients...woo hoo! that almost never happens with food recipes for me.
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of dry powdered milk
1/2 cup of water
1 Tbsp. butter
Pour your sugar and powdered milk into your blender or food processor.
Put the water and butter into the microwave until it boils, roughly 1 minute, but keep an eye on it.
Then add the water and butter to the dry mixture and blend until completely combined.
Obviously since it is hot, it will be quite thin, I throw mine right into the fridge to cool down. It will thicken right up!
Mine looks like more than you will have, only because I doubled my recipe. It will actually make about a cup and a half.
I buy my powdered milk at Aldi's, I believe it was 6.99, maybe. I had bought it to use for other things, and was glad that I found another use for it!!
Now, go make some magic cookie bars for goodness sakes!!
When it has completely cooled, I use it to make my coffee creamer:
All I do is: To one cup of the sweetened condensed milk, add 2 cups of skim milk, throw in some vanilla extract, and I like cinnamon, too. Play around with it! I just pour it into coffee creamer containers that I saved.
I also thought it would be yummy to try Pumpkin Pie Spice in it, and it is delicious!
Pumpkin Pie Spice:
4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. allspice, OR cardamom, OR cloves
