What is "condensed milk"?

Condensed milk is a thick and sweet milk product made by removing most of the water content from regular milk and adding sugar. It has a creamy and rich consistency, making it a popular ingredient in various dessert recipes. Condensed milk is often used to add sweetness and creaminess to dishes like pies, cakes, and ice creams. It can also be used as a standalone spread or topping. Due to its high sugar content and concentrated flavor, condensed milk provides a distinct taste and texture to culinary creations.
