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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it gently bubble. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture for 30-40 minutes, or until it reduces by about half and thickens to a syrupy consistency.

Step 5

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Allow the condensed milk substitute to cool completely—it will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Store the vegan condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
