The majority of the water in ordinary milk is removed to create condensed milk, a thick, sweetened dairy product. Usually made with milk and sugar, it is heated to evaporate the water, resulting in a syrupy, thick, and sweet drink. Condensed milk is frequently used to enhance sweetness and creaminess to baking and dessert preparations. It is an essential component of many sweets, including caramel, fudge, and some kinds of cakes and biscuits.
