Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk

Vegan sweetened condensed milk, really? Yes! It's creamy, thick, rich, sweet, and slightly coconutty. 

This two-ingredient recipe is simple to make and can replace sweetened condensed milk in recipes such as caramels, fudge, brownies, magic bars, cheesecakes, flan, and pound cake. 

Finding vegan sweetened condensed milk is not always easy. Our local stores don't always carry it and, living on a wee island 2 hours away from the mainland, if it's not here, we make it. Now that we know how to make it, we don't need to rely on the store. 

This is one of the easiest recipes in the world. You simply cook the coconut milk and cane sugar down to your desired consistency and store it in the refrigerator.  It will thicken further when cooled and taste like a caramel topping. It's so good that I find a high number of taste tests are necessary to ensure quality at every step along the way :-)

Two ingredients, a pan, and a spoon. It's as easy as can be! 

Our version of sweetened condensed milk is dairy-free and all-natural!
