Condensed milk is a thick, sweetened dairy product made by removing most of the water content from cow's milk and adding sugar. Its origins date back to the early 19th century, with its invention offering a shelf-stable milk alternative that became widely popular in American and European cuisines. Commonly used in desserts, beverages, and baking, condensed milk plays a role in dishes like tres leches cake and Vietnamese coffee. Nutritionally, condensed milk is rich in calcium and vitamin D due to its dairy content but is also high in sugar and saturated fats, making moderation key to enjoying its benefits while reducing health risks. It’s a versatile ingredient that provides a distinct creamy sweetness, yet its calorie density makes it less suitable for individuals watching their caloric intake or managing conditions like diabetes.
