Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 120 g Granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a darker flavor)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and granulated sugar.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it gently bubble. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Simmer the mixture for 30-40 minutes, or until it reduces by about half and thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the condensed milk substitute to cool completely—it will thicken further as it cools.
Store the vegan condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
