This is very delightful sweet dish, can be melt in your mouth. Last time when I made Sandesh with Kesar it will be finish in just few days. So I decided to make this Sandesh with mango twist.

WHAT IS SANDESH SWEET?

Sandesh is just a soft fudge made with Indian cottage cheese or paneer. It can be flavored with Kesar Sandesh, Nolen Gurer Sandesh, Chocolate Sandesh, Rose Sandesh, Jaggery Sandesh and many more that you can choose from your favorite ingredient or make it simple without any essence. You can make end number of flavours into it. It is pronounced like "SONDESH" 

I have made mango sandesh in two ways one if barfi style and one is flat ladoo style.. both come super soft and fantastic. For barfi, i have set it in fridge for almost 4 hours and for other one I have just cool the mixture in fridge for 1 hour till it firm then I made flat ladoo. 

The thing that should be kept in mind while making Sandesh is to mash the Chenna or Paneer nicely with the heels of your hands till it is smooth and silky.

Homemade sweetened condensed milk is deliciously rich, creamy, and silky smooth in texture. Perfect to use as an ingredient for many dessert recipes, Indian mithai, eggless baking as well ice creams like mango tutti frutti ice cream too!!

What is Condensed Milk?

As the name suggests condensed milk is thick sweet milk that has been condensed to about 1/3 of its original volume by evaporating the liquid over slow cooking.

I am sharing slow cooking process and traditional method to make condensed milk at home. Depending on how much milk you have it could take from 45 minutes to 50 minutes or more. 

The result is a thick, rich, creamy, delicious sweetened condensed milk you can eat with a spoon. Or use it in any recipe that that calls for condensed milk.

Can I Make Dairy-Free Condensed Milk?

My condensed milk recipe contains milk, however, if you are dairy-free and/or like vegan baking, use coconut milk rather than dairy milk follow the exact same recipe. It is just as easy to make and it tastes great too. 

INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTES

Milk - it's best to use whole milk(full fat). Skimmed milk has too much liquid so it will take longer to evaporate and you won't get thick milk. You can also use coconut milk, almond milk, or oats milk.

Sweetener - I've used white sugar but you can use brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or even sugar-free alternatives. I have made with condensed milk with brown sugar also, you can also check out this recipe also

Baking Soda 

Why is baking soda used in condensed milk?

Adding baking soda may prevent the protein in the milk from coagulating which gives a smoother consistency. 

CONDENSED MILK VIDEO

Ingredients : 

Whole Milk(Full fat) - 1 litre

White Raw Sugar - 1 cup

Baking soda - 1/8 teaspoon

Instructions :

1. Place milk in a heavy-bottom pan over medium to low heat and let come to an almost boil. 

2. Turn the heat down to an almost simmer and continue to simmer stirring frequently – almost every 3 to 5 minutes.

3. When the milk has reduced to about half, add the sugar and baking soda continue to simmer on low stirring frequently.

4. Continue to cook the milk on a low simmer until it is reduced to about ⅓ of its original volume.

5. Check the condensed milk is ready or not - by adding a two to three drops in to bowl, check weather it is sticking in your finger or not, if it is then your condensed milk is ready OR if it is not the cook your milk more for 3 to 4 minutes then again test the condensed milk.

6. Remove from heat, let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Sieve the condensed milk for smooth and creamy texture.

7. Then, pour into a clean mason jar or container. Let it cool completely at room temperature then store it in the fridge for up to 1-2 months.

NOTES

1. it is important to keep the heat low and stir frequently, otherwise, the milk will burnt on the bottom giving the condensed milk a burnt smell and taste.
