Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients together until the cocoa powder fully dissolves, and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while continuously stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for approximately 15–20 minutes. Stir intermittently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Step 5
The mixture should thicken as it cooks and reduce by about half. You’ll know it’s done when it coats the back of a spoon and has a creamy, syrupy consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This will give the condensed milk a glossy finish and enhanced flavor.
Step 7
Let the chocolate sweetened condensed milk cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to return to room temperature or warm slightly before using, as it may thicken further when chilled.
