Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener to your taste. The recipe works best with anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 cup of your sweetener of choice.
Ingredients
- 1 can of unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/3 cup- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, honey or light agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional but adds good flavor)
Instructions :
- Place the coconut milk, sweetener of choice, and brown sugar (if using) into a saucepan and whisk gently over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. This will help the solid bits of coconut milk melt and incorporate with the sugar.
- When the mixture is just beginning to bubble around the edges, reduce the heat to the lowest flame/setting.
- Set a timer for one hour (you may need to go a bit longer depending on your stove) and simmer uncovered, whisking every 5-10 minutes to release steam and aid in evaporation.
- The mixture will reduce by about half and should be quite thick. You will also notice that it is a darker color. Remove from heat, stir thoroughly and pour into a glass jar or container. Cool in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Use as needed in recipes or to stir into coffee or tea.
