Ingredients
Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 14 oz. can of full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk 450g
- 3/4 cup vegan sugar 150g
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk and vegan sugar to a large sauce pan.
- Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
- Once sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to allow the mixture to simmer. Continue to stir occasionally until the mixture has reduced in volume by half. It should also look thicker and darken in color. This usually takes me about an hour, and I stir the mixture every 5 minutes or so. Don't be worried if it starts to form a skin. It will cook down and be smooth in the end, I promise! Once it's cooked down down you should be able to drag your spatula through it and see the bottom of the pan for a couple seconds.
- Once it's cooked down, remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. It should continue to thicken as it cools.
- Place in an air tight container (I like to use mason jars) and store the fridge for up to a month.

Notes
Making this Dairy-Free Condensed Milk in Advance
This vegan condensed milk can be stored in an airtight container for up a month.Tips for Making the Best Vegan Condensed Milk
- Use a large skillet to help the mixture cook down more evenly and quickly.
- Stir frequently as the coconut milk cooks down to make sure the mixture at the edge of the pan doesn't brown or over-thicken.
- Make sure the mixture is gently simmering, not boiling as it cooks down. You don't want the heat to be too high or you can burn the condensed milk.
