Milk caramel is a dessert that resembles condensed milk in taste and consistency. Depending on the cooking time, it can turn out soft and chewy, or dense, like toffee. Enjoy the benefits of homemade treats!
The ship was carrying caramel, the ship ran aground,
And the sailors ate caramel aground for two weeks.
(children's tongue twister)
Once you learn how to make caramel from milk and sugar at home, you will probably stop buying store-bought condensed milk. What’s remarkable about the recipe I propose is that depending on how long the caramel is cooked, the result will be different. If you need caramel as a sauce for pancakes, or as an addition to a fruit dessert or ice cream, then you need to cook the caramel for about half an hour. If you need caramel as a filling for croissants, then you will have to cook it for about an hour. And if you need milk toffee, which can be cut into portions instead of sweets, then you will have to cook it for almost two hours.
Caramel requires only three ingredients: milk, sugar, butter. Making caramel is so simple that there’s nothing to say about it. However, a few words must be said. I've come across other recipes for cooking caramel, where the ingredients seem to be the same, but the procedure is slightly different. In these recipes, sugar is usually melted first, then milk is poured in, and lastly, butter is added to the almost finished caramel. The peculiarity of this recipe is that without a certain skill, it is very difficult to guess the temperature of the milk that needs to be poured into the melted sugar. As a result, with a high degree of probability, the milk may curdle, form flakes and caramel can be safely thrown away.

Recipe contents:
Milk candies are a confectionery product made by heating sugar with liquid. The latter uses water, milk, lemon juice, sour cream, etc. And the main and constant ingredient is sugar.

Step-by-step preparation of milk candies, recipe with photo:
1. Pour the milk into a convenient cooking container and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
2. When foam forms on the surface of the milk and rises rapidly, remove the container from the heat so that the milk does not escape. Then add sugar.
3. Turn the heat to medium and place the pan on the stove.
4. Stir and boil the milk, stirring constantly.
5. After the milk boils again, turn the temperature down to the minimum setting so that the foam settles.
6. Continue cooking the milk. It will constantly boil and change color.
7. After 15 minutes, add vanilla sugar and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly. The consistency of the mass will begin to thicken and acquire a golden hue. Boil the milk to the consistency you want. The darker and denser the mass, the harder the candies will be. Accordingly, and vice versa: with a lighter shade, the candies will be softer.
If you are preparing a large portion of sweets for a long time, then at the end of cooking, pour in 0.5 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice. This will prevent the caramel from crystallizing.
8. Pour the finished mixture into silicone candy molds and leave to harden in the refrigerator. If desired, while the mixture is liquid, drop a nut into each candy. Ready-made milk candies are easily removed from silicone molds. Store them in the refrigerator, because... At room temperature they will become soft and sticky.

Recipes for making boiled milk sugar with water, sour cream, milk, cream.
From the 70s - 80s of the twentieth century, many delicious dishes have migrated to our time, for the preparation of which you do not need to buy special ingredients or purchase modern kitchen appliances. Everything you need is in the kitchen of any housewife.
- And it is absolutely not necessary to take culinary courses in order to please your household with a delicious delicacy. You can also surprise with its unusual taste those who have long been spoiled by the abundance of all kinds of desserts prepared according to the newfangled recipe.
What is boiled milk sugar?
Boiled milk sugar korda was one of the most beloved Soviet desserts. The delicacy is prepared from a minimum amount of ingredients. You can prepare a treat according to your grandmother’s recipe even if you have a catastrophic lack of free time. And the taste of the finished sweet product is not inferior to purchased delicacies from confectionery factories.
- It is more common to see milk sugar as an independent dessert. However, a delicious sweet can decorate baked goods or complete the design of a birthday cake.
- The basis for the preparation of boiled milk sugar, as can be understood from the name of the product, includes three ingredients: sugar, milk and butter. The rest is the result of experiments and taste preferences of household members.
How to cook milk sugar with milk: a recipe like in childhood
Ingredients for making dessert:
- 200 ml milk
- 3.5 cups sugar
- 140 or 200 grams of peanuts (you can take half a glass of different nuts)
- butter – about 80 grams
Cooking process:
- It will take no more than 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients for this delicacy. But for the dessert itself you need to set aside an hour of free time.
- Believe me, the result is worth it and you won’t regret having to stand at the stove instead of watching your favorite show or another melodrama. Let's begin the mystery of preparing a dessert from the distant 70s.
- Let's prepare a container in which we will cook the dessert. This can be a saucepan or a round stainless steel ladle. Measure out three cups of granulated sugar and pour into a container. We will need the remaining 0.5 cups of sugar for further preparation.
- Pour the sugar into a container with a glass of milk and put it on the stove. Turn on a small fire. Warm up the liquid, stirring all the time.
Pour sugar into a container with a glass of milk and send it to the stove - While the milk and sugar are heating on the stove, fry the entire portion of peanuts. Pour the nuts into the frying pan. Stir or shake constantly. The peanuts should be golden. After roasting, the peanut films should peel off easily. The process will take about 30 minutes. This time will be just enough for the milk sugar to boil down to the desired thickness.
We check if the sorbet is ready using grandma’s old method: take a little syrup into a spoon and drop it onto a plate - Give the milk sugar a rich brown color. To do this, we will need the same 0.5 cups of sugar that were left aside. Take a small frying pan and pour sugar onto the surface. Melt and lightly fry the white sand.
- Now we place the contents of a small frying pan into a container with milk-sugar syrup. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Pour the sugar mixture into the mold - If you want to achieve a darker color for the finished treat, keep the sugar in the pan further until it is overcooked, but not to the point of blackness.
- Keep on low heat for another 20 minutes. We check if the sorbet is ready using grandma’s old method: take a little syrup into a spoon and drop it onto a plate. A spreading drop indicates that the dessert needs to be cooked a little longer. As a rule, sherbet “ripens” on the stove for about an hour. A few minutes before the container with the syrup is removed from the heat, add the butter and stir.
- The preparation of the sweet delicacy is not yet finished: we are preparing a form in which the sherbet will harden. Any utensil will do: a plate, a shallow bowl. The main thing is that it is convenient for you to remove the sherbet later. You can take a baking dish, line the inside. Grease the parchment with butter.
- We take out the roasted peanuts (you haven’t forgotten about them, have you?) and pour them into the bottom of the mold. Pour milk and sugar mixture on top. We take it to a cool place (or leave it in the refrigerator after cooling). The syrup should completely harden.
- When the whole family is gathered, serve the delicacy for tea, having previously cut it or split it into small pieces.

If you decide to make a dessert that is somewhat reminiscent of the taste of “Korovka” candies, then carefully read the following recipe. Perhaps this delicious treat with a delicate milky taste is exactly what you need.
For cooking we will need products:
- half a glass of milk
- 1 glass and 4 heaped spoons of sugar
Process for preparing soft milk sugar:
- Preparation of milk sugar, regardless of the recipe chosen, begins in the same way: the entire portion of milk is poured into a container, and one and a half glasses of granulated sugar are poured in.
- Place the container with milk and sugar on low heat. Don't forget to stir the syrup.
Stir the resulting foam thoroughly. Nothing should burn in the saucepan! With the spoon we stir, we move it not only along the bottom, but also along the walls of the saucepan. - When the foam decreases (after 2 minutes), the syrup will thicken a little (if you scoop it with a spoon, it will stretch). By changing its consistency, the sweet mass will also change color. This means that the process of cooking sweets on fire is completed.
- Now we prepare the molds, grease them from the inside with butter and fill them with the prepared sweet syrup. Before serving milk-flavored sugar for tea, don’t overdo it with “sampling,” otherwise your family won’t get anything!
- Tip: For lovers of sweet sherbet with a porous structure, the following proportions of sugar and milk are recommended: liquid 100 ml, granulated sugar 300 g. The finished product will have a smooth front side but will have bumps on the back side.
- For lovers of thick, sweet sherbet, the following proportion of the main ingredients is recommended: 100 ml of liquid per 200 grams of sugar. The dessert prepared according to this recipe will be smooth on all sides and uniform in cut.
How to cook milk sugar with soft milk: recipe
If you need to achieve a viscous consistency of milk sugar that will spread smoothly over the surface, then prepare a sweet mass with the addition of cream. This milk sugar can be used for fudge.
Products:
- 300 ml cream (you need to choose a fat content of at least 33%)
- granulated sugar – 2.5 faceted glasses
- 1 spoon of honey
- 50 g butter
Cooking process:
- Let's start preparing the sherbat. Pour the cream into the container in which we will cook the dessert. We'll send sugar here too. Mix the ingredients and turn on the stove. Set the fire to low. Bring the liquid to a boil with constant stirring.
- At this stage, add a spoonful of honey and cook for another 20 minutes.
- Prepare the molds, grease them with butter and pour in the hot syrup. After waiting for the mass to cool slightly, cut into small pieces.
If you need to cover the cake with sweet sherbet, you can leave it in a suitable mold until it cools completely. And if you need to attach sweet milk sherbat figures to the surface of the cake, then do the following manipulations:
- Having cut out the figure using a mold, place it on the cake
- lightly heat the edges until they settle and lie firmly on the baking surface
How to cook milk sugar with cream: recipe
Adding sour cream will give the boiled sugar dessert a unique taste and aroma, reminiscent of the most “delicious” moments of childhood. The sour cream-based delicacy also has another name: milk fudge. If you want to improve your grandmother’s technology for making sweets, add cocoa, nuts, and seeds to the recipe.
To prepare milk fudge you will need the following components:
- 0.5 kg sugar
- glass of fat sour cream
- 50 g butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa (optional)
Cooking process:
- We will cook the delicacy in a fireproof container with a non-stick coating. If you prefer to recreate in your kitchen the method of preparing dessert proven by our grandmothers, then prepare an enamel saucepan or bowl.
- Pour the entire portion of sugar into a heated container, add sour cream and, if you decide to make a dessert with nuts or seeds, then add these ingredients as well.
- Stir the contents of the saucepan until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and leave the syrup on the stove for another half hour.
- After 30 minutes, the sweet mass will acquire a beautiful caramel shade, and its thickness will be optimal for dessert. Constant stirring will prevent the formation of lumps. You should not continue cooking the sweetness after 30 minutes: the syrup may curdle and become hard.
- Mix the contents of the saucepan, add butter (the amount of butter indicated in the recipe). After the butter has melted, you can fill greased molds with the caramel mass and place them in a cool room. Remove the finished sweet from the mold and cut into pieces.

Lean boiled sugar on water: recipe
If there is no milk in your refrigerator, but you want to pamper your kids with a delicious dessert, then prepare boiled sugar with milk. This delicacy is called “lean sugar”. The only negative: without milk, the dessert will not have the additional caramel flavor.
We will need the following ingredients:
- 1 glass of water
- 3 cups sugar
Cooking process:
- Pour sugar into water heated on the stove (it is better to cook on a gas stove, then the sweetness will have a uniform consistency).
- To prepare the delicacy, take a fireproof saucepan with a non-stick coating.
- Bring the contents of the container to a boil. We set the heat to minimum and continue to simmer for another half hour with constant stirring.
- We check the readiness of the dessert using grandma’s old method: we drop syrup onto a plate and check whether the drop spreads. If not, then the delicacy is ready and can be poured into greased molds.
