3-Ingredient Milk Pudding – Condensed Milk Recipes Easy 3 Ingredients
Milk pudding has a soft spot in my heart. It’s the kind of dessert that sneaks up on you—simple, unassuming, and suddenly you're halfway through the pan asking, 'Wait, how did I get here?' It takes just three ingredients, but it pulls off this silky, melt-in-your-mouth magic that tastes like nostalgia.
What I love most is how it dances between cozy and tropical. The creamy condensed milk hugs every spoonful, while the coconut milk lends a subtle whisper of sweetness that feels like sunshine in dessert form. And since we're only working with pantry staples, it's the kind of treat you can whip up at midnight in pajamas when that sweet tooth won’t quit.
If you’ve never tried this before, prepare to be shocked at how satisfying something this easy can be. It’s one of those condensed milk recipes that becomes a go-to. Oh, and did I mention it’s a coconut milk dessert too? Yeah, this little pudding is kind of having an identity crisis—but in the best possible way.
