Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, pour the full-fat coconut milk and whisk well to ensure the liquid and cream are fully combined.
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar has dissolved completely. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid boiling.
Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and thickened to a syrupy consistency. You will start to see it coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Let the sweetened condensed milk cool completely. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the condensed milk to a clean, airtight jar or container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Use this vegan sweetened condensed milk as a replacement for the traditional version in recipes like fudge, pies, or beverages.
