How to Make Copycat Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitute Paula Deen

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat until the butter and sugar are fully combined and the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Gradually add 3 cups powdered milk while mixing continuously until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Transfer the sweetened condensed milk to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to fully thicken. Best if stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
