Sweetened condensed milk is exactly what it sounds like–milk that’s been sweetened and condensed. It has less water, so when you heat it up, it gets super thick and creamy, making your desserts extra rich and fudgy.

1.Instant Malpua

Malpua is a delightful treat that combines the fluffiness of pancakes with the sweetness of a syrup-soaked dessert. These little pancakes are crafted using thickened milk and flour, giving them a rich, creamy base.

To make them even sweeter, condensed milk is added as a handy shortcut. The batter is mixed with crushed fennel seeds, cardamom powder, a pinch of salt, and semolina for extra texture.

Whisk in the condensed milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest for a bit, and while you wait, prepare the syrup.

When the pancakes are cooked, they’re gently soaked in the warm, saffron-infused syrup, creating a deliciously fluffy and flavorful treat.

2.Traditional Brigadeiros (Brazilian Fudge Balls)

These Brazilian fudge balls are totally irresistible! I love making them as gifts, and I’ve always had nothing but great feedback as people munch on them right out of the bag.

This recipe is a blend of sweet condensed milk, rich chocolate powder, and butter. Some older recipes may include eggs, but you won’t see that too often these days.

The key to getting this to the right consistency is to use low heat and keep it moving.

You’ll see it thicken as it cooks, and then it needs to cool before you roll into balls.

3.Bavarian Mints

Bavarian mints are a delightful treat that combines the freshness of mint with the richness of chocolate.

These chocolate and mint candies boast a chewy texture and a decadent chocolate coating, making them a pleasure to bite into. Unlike traditional fudge, which can be dense, these mints have a lighter texture.

The secret? Whisking the mixture as it cools, which introduces extra air and keeps things feeling fresh and airy. It’s a simple trick that makes all the difference in the end result!

4.Rice Pudding (Arroz Con Leche)

This rice pudding recipe brings back memories of Sundays spent watching my grandma cook. She’d start by buttering a glass dish, then scatter rice across it.

Next came a generous sprinkle of sugar and a pour of evaporated milk. As an adult, I’ve made a little tweak–skipping the visible sugar addition.

It’s not the healthiest treat, but it lets me enjoy that extra serving guilt-free! Using condensed milk makes it irresistibly creamy.

Whether you like it hot or cold, topped with cinnamon, chocolate, or mango, this pudding is a delight. It’s a versatile treat that’s sure to please any palate.

5.3-Ingredient No-Churn Ice Cream

Who knew you could make luxurious ice cream at home with just a whisk and 10 minutes? It’s true! No fancy ice cream maker needed–just a can of condensed milk, real vanilla, and some whipped cream.

The best part? This creamy base is perfect for getting creative. Swirl in some cookie dough, sprinkle with chocolate chips, drizzle with caramel, or mix in peanut butter–the possibilities are endless!

6.Milk Cream Using Condensed Milk

Milk Cream is a deliciously creamy fudge that’s a holiday favorite in East India, especially around Christmas. Made with sweetened condensed milk, this treat is extra creamy and has a lovely golden hue.

For added flavor, cashew powder is sprinkled in, giving it a nutty twist. If you prefer, you can substitute the cashew powder with almond flour for a similar taste.

7.Eagle Brand Fudge

If you’re a fudge lover, you absolutely need to give this Eagle Brand recipe a shot! It’s tried-and-true, straight from the can, so you know it’s a winner. The best part?

No fancy tools or skills required–just simple, good stuff. Melt together chocolate chips, condensed milk, and a pinch of salt, then pour it into a dish to set.

Keep it classic, or get creative by adding chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or even crushed cookie crumbs. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends and family!

8.Chocolate Bourbon or Rum Balls Recipe

These bite-sized treats may resemble Brigadeiros, but they’re actually rich, fudgy brownie truffles in disguise. The secret starts with a boxed cake mix–go for chocolate to get that deep flavor.

Here’s the twist: skip the brownie mix. Brownies are already super fudgy, and adding condensed milk and rum would make them way too wet.

Instead, use a cake mix, break it into crumbs, and gently fold in some rum or bourbon along with condensed milk. The result? Perfectly balanced, fudgy, and irresistibly delicious truffles.

10.Slice of Life

This ‘slice of life’ dessert is a sweet surprise that I first discovered in a Melbourne cafe. It’s soft, crumbly, and irresistibly sweet–a delightful twist on traditional treats.

What makes it even more special is the marshmallow layer, giving it a nod to the classic Iced Vovo.

The base is a no-bake mix of cookies and condensed milk, but it’s not just any cookies. The magic lies in using malted milk biscuits and powder for that signature flavor.

Since malted milk cookies can be hard to find in the States, I decided to make my own. Just grab some malted milk powder online, and you’re all set to create this unique dessert!

11.Easy No-Bake Cheesecake

Let’s face it–no-bake cheesecakes can be a bit of a letdown if you’re expecting that rich, dense texture. But this recipe is a total game-changer.

Instead of heavy cream, we’re mixing cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

Here’s where the magic happens: the citrus juice thickens the condensed milk, giving this cheesecake its signature density. The result? A creamy, indulgent dessert that’s anything but light.

Give it a try and see why this no-bake cheesecake stands out from the rest!

12.Easy Moist Banana Bread

Hey there, bakers! Let’s talk about making the perfect banana bread. First off, you’ll need super ripe bananas–they should be almost black and really soft.

This is key because they add natural sweetness and creaminess to the bread. Next, don’t overmix the batter. Keep it a bit lumpy to ensure the bread stays light and moist.

Here’s a special touch: we’re using condensed milk to add extra moisture and a hint of sweetness. The result? A banana bread that’s tender, flavorful, and downright irresistible.

Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. And the best part? It tastes even better the next day!

14.Pumpkin Pie with Condensed Milk

This pumpkin pie is a close cousin to my go-to pumpkin pie recipe, and both are absolute winners.

One thing you’ll notice right away is that this version skips the added sugar–and there’s a good reason for that. The sweetness from the condensed milk is more than enough to make this pie shine.

Plus, I found this pie to be extra dense and super rich, which I personally love. If you prefer it a bit lighter, a dollop of whipped cream on top does the trick perfectly.

This recipe skips the eggs, making it super easy to go vegan. Just remember to swap out the white chocolate for dark chunks to keep it plant-based.

Ready to dive into the fudgiest brownies of your life?

19.Millionaire Pie

This pie is a delightful surprise from the very first bite.

20.Old-Fashioned Macintosh Toffee
