Notes

Condensed Milk too Runny / Thick

If you find that your condensed milk is too runny, it means that it wasn't reduced enough and still has a bit too much water content in it.

Pour the mixture back into a saucepan keep cooking it down until it thickens more.

If you find that the consistency is too thick, add a few tablespoons of warm milk and milk in a blender or with a hand blender until you get the consistency you desire.
