Why Sri Lankan Milk Toffee Is So Popular
Sri Lankan milk toffee, or “kiri toffee,” is a favorite sweet treat in Sri Lanka, especially during holidays and celebrations. It’s been around since condensed milk became common. You can easily make it by cooking condensed milk, sugar, and butter until it thickens and turns golden brown.
Some people add cashews or vanilla for extra flavor. Once it cools, you cut it into squares. It’s creamy, rich, and really delicious.
Condensed Milk – Perfect for Making Toffee
Sweetened condensed milk is ideal for making Sri Lankan milk toffee because it gives the toffee its rich, creamy texture and helps it caramelize beautifully. The natural sweetness of condensed milk means you get consistent flavor throughout the toffee.

Ingredients
1 can (396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (200 grams) sugar
1 tsp (5 grams) vanilla extract
1 tbsp (14 grams) butter
Directions
- Prepare the Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a heavy-bottomed pan. Rinse out the can with a little water (about 2 tablespoons or 30 milliliters) and add it to the pan to ensure you get all the condensed milk.
- Add Sugar: Add 1 cup (200 grams) of sugar to the condensed milk.
- Dissolve the Sugar: Mix the sugar and condensed milk over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Add 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of vanilla extract to the mixture. Keep stirring.
- Thicken the Mixture: Continue to stir the mixture over low heat until it thickens and turns a deep golden brown color. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. The consistency should be similar to thick caramel sauce.
- Add Butter: Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of butter to the mixture and stir well until the butter is fully incorporated. Remove the pan from heat.
- Pour into a Tray and Prepare to Shape: Slowly pour the hot toffee mixture into a tray or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool slightly until it becomes less runny.
- Shape the Toffee: Use a spatula to gently press and shape the toffee to your desired thickness and smooth the surface.
- Cut into Squares: Dip a knife into some butter to prevent sticking, and cut the toffee into squares. Allow the toffee to set for one hour before serving.

Notes
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: This helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the toffee from burning.
- Stir Constantly: To avoid crystallization and ensure a smooth texture, keep stirring the mixture throughout the cooking process.
- Low to Medium Heat: Maintain low to medium heat to prevent the toffee from burning or cooking too quickly.
- Check the Color: Aim for a deep golden brown color, which indicates that the toffee has thickened properly.
- Add Flavor: Enhance the toffee with a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla, or some chopped cashews for added flavor and texture.
- Smooth the Surface: Use a spatula to press and shape the toffee while it’s cooling to get an even surface.
