Equipment

  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 Whip.
  • 1 airtight storage jar

Ingredients

  • 1 400-ml can full-fat coconut milk (about 13.5 oz)
  • ⅓ cup organic cane sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk and cane sugar. Mix well.
  • Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color. Stir also helps prevent it from overflowing the pan.
  • Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until use.
  • Placed in an airtight container, this vegan sweetened condensed milk will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Coconut sugar can be replaced with maple syrup or coconut palm sugar for a stronger taste or quite simply, by brown sugar.
  • If sweetened condensed milk is too thick, add a tablespoon of coconut milk to make it thinner.

Variants

  • Vegan Vanilla Sweetened Condensed Milk: add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra splash of flavor.
  • Vegan Sweetened Sweetened Condensed Milk without Coconut Milk (lighter): substitute coconut milk with any milk alternative and create condensed almond milk, condensed oat milk, condensed soy milk, or condensed cashew milk (mix 1 cup cashews with ½ cup of non-dairy milk and ½ cup of sweetener in a high-speed blender).
  • Vegan Sweetened Condensed Chocolate: add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
