condensed milk

Thick sugary dairy

Condensed milk is milk that has been reduced by evaporation and sweetened with sugar, producing a thick, sticky liquid used in desserts and coffee.

The sugar acts as a preservative, allowing it to keep without refrigeration before opening.

Unsweetened versions are usually called evaporated milk: The flan recipe calls for a can of condensed milk.
