If you have a can of condensed milk in your pantry, use it to make one of these delicious Pakistani or Indian desserts with condensed milk.

Many South Asian desserts are made with milk. We use them in all sorts of sweet dishes from traditional sweets like kheer, to sweet fudge-style snacks like mithai.

Most of these milk-based desserts are traditionally made by cooking down milk and sugar to thicken them. We love shortcuts in our kitchen. And if you are looking to make Pakistani or Indian desserts quickly, sweetened condensed milk is the perfect ingredient!

What is Condensed Milk?

Condensed milk is thickened milk, cooked down with sugar.

A can of condensed milk is the perfect substitute for milk and sugar in many Pakistani or Indian desserts that traditionally start with milk. You would typically spend stirring a pot of milk and sugar and waiting for it to thicken. The condensed milk can help cut down the cooking time for desserts.

So the next time you’re looking to cut down your time spent on desserts, simply replace the milk and sugar with a can of condensed milk.
