1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Begin by measuring out all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Use high-quality whole milk and fresh heavy cream for the creamiest result.
2. Combine Ingredients in a Saucepan
Place the milk, cream (if using), and sugar in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir well to combine. If you like a subtle vanilla flavor, add the vanilla extract now.
3. Heat the Mixture
Set the saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently but consistently as the sugar dissolves. It is crucial to avoid scorching or boiling the mixture, as this could affect the final texture.
4. Simmer and Reduce
Once the sugar has fully dissolved, reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. You’ll notice the mixture thickening as it reduces.
5. Check for Desired Consistency
After 25–30 minutes, the liquid should have reduced by about half and taken on a thick, creamy texture similar to commercial sweetened condensed milk. A good indicator of readiness is when the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
