Coffee is an invigorating drink that gives energy, helps you wake up and lifts your mood for the whole day. Some people drink pure espresso without additives. And some prefer to brew it with the addition of various ingredients. Today, coffee with condensed milk has become very popular.
The combination of condensed milk and coffee makes the drink less bitter and its taste becomes softer. But, it is worth considering that it has a high calorie content. Therefore, people who are on a diet or who are prone to obesity should not get carried away with coffee with condensed milk because of its calorie content.
The combination of condensed milk and coffee tastes better than regular black espresso. There is no need to add sugar to the drink because it is already sweet. It can be brewed and drunk hot, or cold with ice. There are a lot of recipes for coffee with condensed milk. There are several basic rules for preparing the drink so that it turns out tasty and the milk does not “curdle.”
It is better to use coffee beans rather than freeze-dried or instant coffee. The aroma and taste of the brewed drink is influenced by the quality and type of coffee beans, as well as the softness of the water. Tap water will not work; you need to use purified water.

Arabian coffee
The leading position is taken by Arabica - a small tree that produces wonderful fragrant fruits of excellent quality, but is very picky and less prolific than Robusta. It is Arabica that gives the drink a special rich aroma, an attractive light taste and an excellent golden foam. The beans of this type are large, uneven, and contain approximately 1-1.5% caffeine.

Boiled
During the Soviet era, people cooked condensed milk at home: as a result, ordinary condensed milk produced a soft fudge or “toffee” of brown color, which in appearance resembled peanut butter, popular in modern society. The only disadvantage of homemade preparation is the high probability of the jar exploding. This happens when cooks simply forget to add water to the container during cooking or extend the process for more than 2.5 hours (the optimal duration is from 1 to 2 hours).
Today, in order to avoid undesirable consequences for the kitchen interior, “toffee” can be purchased ready-made, and then consumed as an independent dessert, spread on cookies or bread, or used to fill wafer rolls. No less often, boiled condensed milk is used as cream for pies and cakes. The average calorie content of 100 grams of product is 328 kcal. The offering of the Glavproduct brand is considered especially popular among Russians. The calorie content of boiled condensed milk in this case is 315 kcal per 100 g.
The main danger when buying ready-made boiled condensed milk is choosing a low-quality one. Traditionally, it should contain only milk and sugar. The low quality of the product is indicated by the presence of dyes, proteins and fats of vegetable origin, thickeners, flavors and preservatives.
The chemical composition of the boiled delicacy is rich and contains amino acids, macro- and microelements, and vitamins that are essential for the human body. Since it contains less liquid than regular condensed milk, the concentration of elements is higher. It is noteworthy that boiled condensed milk is completely digestible, without causing discomfort from the gastrointestinal tract. The product is especially valuable for people with insufficient body weight. But those who are losing weight should not abuse it, again, due to its high calorie content.
Sugarless
There is a special technology for making condensed milk without adding sugar: fresh milk is pasteurized, after which most of the water is evaporated, thus obtaining a concentrated mass. To extend shelf life, it is sterilized. At the same time, the product does not lose the gastronomic qualities characteristic of a fresh cow drink and its nutritional value.
According to GOST, unsweetened condensed milk can have a fat content of 1% (virtually low-fat product), 8.5% (medium fat content) and about 19% (cream). A quality product has a pleasant aroma, white or slightly creamy color and a uniform glossy consistency. Unfortunately, today it is becoming more and more difficult to buy a truly high-quality option. Quite a few surrogates have appeared on the shelves, inferior to the classic product in taste and benefits.
By the way, real condensed milk without sugar is no less healthy than whole milk. It is rich in calcium and potassium, contains vitamins A and D, selenium, fluorine, etc. But its calorie content is much lower - 131 kcal per 100 g. With regular use, the product helps strengthen the immune system, restore mental and physical strength, normalize brain function and improved vision.
With sugar
Classic condensed milk consists of concentrated cow's milk and sugar. Lactose gives it a homogeneous consistency. The sugar mixture has a characteristic milky taste and aroma. Liquid raw materials for preparing sweets are heated to 60 degrees, so they retain the full range of benefits. It must be noted that the benefits of the final product directly depend on the production method and the integrity of the manufacturer.
The basis of the chemical composition of high-quality condensed milk is vitamins and minerals, due to which it allows you to quickly recover from physical and mental stress. It also contains calcium, which helps strengthen bones and teeth, and also has a beneficial effect on cellular metabolism and supports muscles. The beta-carotene content has a beneficial effect on vision, and phosphorus salts have a beneficial effect on brain function and hematopoietic processes. Condensed milk also copes with swelling and normalizes the functioning of the cardiovascular system due to the presence of potassium and chlorine.
Condensed milk is a dessert that is not only healthy, but also quite nutritious. It contains 34% protein, so its high calorie content is natural: for every 100 grams of product with added sugar there are 320 kcal. Many people with a sweet tooth and those losing weight are interested in the calorie content of a smaller portion: 1 teaspoon of sweets contains approximately 40 kcal.
Despite the fact that condensed milk is a rather difficult product to produce, people manage to counterfeit it. A few tips will help you choose a quality treat:
- Name. A jar of natural condensed milk has a label with a name that begins with the word “milk.” By the way, if there is a TU mark on the package, most likely the manufacturer has added vegetable fats. This product is not worth buying.
- Fat content. Real sweetness has a fat content of 8.5%.
- Compound. Apart from whole cow's milk and sugar, this delicacy contains nothing.
- Package. High-quality goods are packaged in tins, the markings of which certainly begin with the letter M.
Condensed milk is the same as canned food, and it also has a sell-by date and storage conditions. If the product is in a tin, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a year. Plastic packaging makes condensed milk good for only 3 months. When sweets are purchased in bulk, the shelf life is reduced to several days.
At home, you can check the quality of the product: after opening the jar, the delicacy is scooped into a teaspoon, which is then raised higher. A high-quality mass will definitely flow in a thin continuous stream. Otherwise, the sweetness is of low quality and contains components undesirable for health and figure, so it is better to avoid consuming it.
