How to Make Dairy Free Condensed Milk
Description
The recipe uses full fat or low-fat coconut milk combined with white sugar heated gently until the sugar dissolves, then simmered without stirring to prevent crystallization. Over approximately 30 to 40 minutes, the mixture darkens and thickens to a consistency similar to traditional condensed milk. Care is taken to avoid incorporating any sugary residue around the pot rim which could cause cracking in the final product.
This dairy-free condensed milk can be stored in the refrigerator for several months when cooled and sealed properly. It offers a sweetener base for baking and cooking where traditional condensed milk is required but dairy is avoided. Variations with natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or coconut sugar are possible replacements for white sugar, adapting the flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 1 can(14 oz/414 ml/1¾cups) coconut milk (full fat or low fat)*
- ⅔ cups white sugar
Notes
- This recipe yields about 1 cup of dairy-free condensed milk.
- Any type of dairy-free milk can replace coconut milk as desired.
- Alternative sweeteners like maple syrup, agave, honey, or coconut sugar may substitute for white sugar but may affect flavor and texture.
- Avoid stirring once the simmer starts to prevent crystallization or cracking of the mixture.
- Cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for months.
