Wikipedia
Condensed milk, also known as sweetened condensed milk, is cow's milk from which water has been removed and to which sugar has been added, yielding a very thick, sweet product that can last for years without refrigeration if unopened. The two terms, condensed milk and sweetened condensed milk, have become synonymous; though there have been unsweetened condensed milk products, today these are uncommon. Condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries, especially in Russia and the former Soviet Union where it is known as "сгущёнка" (''sguschyonka'', literally " condensed"). A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a more complex process and which is not sweetened.

Condensed milk is a mixture of whole milk and 40% sugar, heated until 60% of the water evaporates, creating a sticky, sweet mixture. Unsweetened condensed milk is referred to as evaporated milk.
Unopened, a can will keep for 6 months. Once opened, 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
