Sweetened condensed milk is a thick, creamy dairy product made by removing most of the water from cow’s milk and adding sugar, resulting in its signature dense texture and rich taste. Originating in the 19th century as a method to preserve milk, it has become a beloved ingredient in numerous cuisines, including those of Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, often featured in desserts and beverages like tres leches cake or Vietnamese coffee. Nutritionally, sweetened condensed milk is high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat, providing quick energy but lacking in fiber or vitamins. While it offers small amounts of protein and calcium thanks to its dairy base, the high added sugar content means it should be consumed in moderation. Its concentrated sweetness and velvety consistency make it a versatile indulgence for recipes, but it’s best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.
