A 3-Ingredient Baked Condensed Milk Custard is one of those quietly impressive desserts that looks like it took effort but is actually built from simplicity. With just eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and regular milk, you can create a smooth, silky custard that bakes into a gently set, spoonable dessert with a caramel-like sweetness and soft texture.

What makes this version special is its balance: the condensed milk provides sweetness and creaminess, eggs give structure, and milk lightens everything into a delicate custard that’s firm enough to slice (when chilled) but soft enough to melt on the tongue.

3-Ingredient Baked Condensed Milk Custard (Step-by-Step)

Ingredients

• 1 can (about 14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk

Optional but recommended:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for aroma depth)

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish and Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Choose a baking dish such as:

• A glass or ceramic casserole dish
• Or a loaf pan for a thicker custard

Lightly grease it with butter or a neutral oil. This helps the custard release cleanly after baking.

If you want an ultra-smooth texture, prepare a larger roasting pan as well—this will be used for a water bath later.

Step 2: Warm the Milk (Optional but Helpful)

Pour the milk into a saucepan and warm it gently over low heat until it is lukewarm, not boiling.

This step is optional, but it helps:

• Dissolve the condensed milk more easily
• Reduce bubbles in the final custard
• Create a smoother texture

Once warmed, remove from heat and let it sit briefly.
