Instructions

  1. Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan. Bring the milk to a simmer, stirring frequently and being careful it does not boil over.
  2. Add the sweetener and stir to fully incorporate and dissolve it into the milk.
  3. Simmer on low for about 30 minutes . Stir every 5 minutes or so to keep the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  4. The condensed milk will be done when the milk has reduced by half, the color is a light caramel color, and it has a thick consistency just like regular condensed milk.
  5. Allow condensed milk to cool before storing or using in a recipe.
  6. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The milk will become thicker when stored in the refrigerator. To soften it, place in a warm water bath for 5-10 minutes or microwave it for 20-30 seconds.

Notes

  • Add a little sweetener at a time and taste as you go until you reach your desired sweetness. You can add more or less than what the recipe calls for based on your preference.
  • Date syrup is another great choice, adding a subtle caramel-like taste, though it may slightly darken the color.
  • You can also use a granulated sweetener such as cane sugar or coconut sugar, just be sure to stir well to make sure it dissolves completely.
