Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 ounces or 400 ml) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Open the can of full-fat coconut milk and give it a good stir to mix the cream and liquid together for an even consistency.
Pour the coconut milk into a medium-sized saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for approximately 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the mixture simmers, it will thicken and reduce by about half. Be vigilant to prevent the mixture from scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once thickened to a syrupy consistency and slightly amber in color, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before using. It will thicken further as it cools.
Store the vegan condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
