Our take on the La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk

La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk is a canned blend of whole milk and sugar, cooked down to a thick, pourable syrup. It is the standard ingredient for Latin American desserts such as flan, tres leches and dulce de leche, and it also sweetens coffee and iced drinks. The 14 fl oz can is a single-use size, so it suits one batch of dessert rather than long-term storage. Compared with store-brand condensed milk, it is known for a smooth, uniform texture and a clean milk-and-sugar flavor without a cooked or metallic edge.

Questions and answers

What is La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk used for?
It is used in flan, tres leches, dulce de leche, fudge and other desserts, and to sweeten coffee and iced drinks. It is not a substitute for evaporated milk, which is unsweetened.
Is it gluten free?
Yes, it is labeled gluten free. It does contain milk and sugar.
How should I store it after opening?
Transfer leftovers to a sealed container and refrigerate. Use them within a few days, as the can does not reseal well.
Can I make dulce de leche from it?
Yes. Simmering the sealed can in water for a couple of hours turns it into dulce de leche; keep the can covered with water the whole time.
How does it compare with evaporated milk?
Condensed milk is pre-sweetened and thicker, while evaporated milk is unsweetened and thinner. Recipes call for one or the other, so they are not interchangeable without adding sugar.
How many cans do I need for a tres leches cake?
Most tres leches recipes call for one 14 fl oz can along with evaporated milk and cream. Buy extra cans for larger cakes or double batches.
Where is the La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk cheapest?
At Target, for $3.39, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk?
