1) If you are using Sweetened Condensed Milk, you have to taste before adding any sugar.

2) You can use Evaporated Milk, which is not sweetened to reduce time of cooking. But here you have to add sugar as Evaporated Milk has no added sugar.

3) If you are using artificial sweeteners, make sure you are cooking with them as the chemicals may become bitter through cooking. Add it after the Kheer cools a little. Also, if you are using sweeteners, try Stevia as it is a plant derived sweetener.

Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I tried it using condensed milk. I didn’t add any sugar and just added condensed milk and some regular milk. It came out really nice.

Hi Anjana,

We have not tried condensed milk for this recipe but if you use it, you can omit sugar because the condensed milk is already sweetened. You will have to keep adding the condensed milk until you reach a sweetness that you like. You can adjust it also with regular milk.

I want to use condensed milk in the kheer but I am not sure about the quantity of milk and sugar and also the boiling time. Can you clarify this for me. I want to make enough kheer for 5 people.
