This vegan condensed milk recipe is just 3 ingredients and makes the most delicious dairy free substitute in your favourite recipes. Plus this version is completely coconut free giving it a neutral and ‘milky’ taste that won’t overpower any other flavours.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and dairy-free milks. Place the saucepan on the smallest stove burner on low heat.
Set a timer for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 5-10 minutes until the sugar dissolves, then let it gently simmer over low heat, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
After 1 hour, check if the volume has reduced by half and thickened. If the mixture is boiling, briefly remove from heat, mix well, and return until the desired consistency is reached.
The condensed milk will be done when the volume has reduced by half and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat and pour into a jar or container. Cover and refrigerate immediately, preferably overnight before using to ensure it thickens and cools properly.
Use straight from the fridge or if too thick to drizzle, let it come to room temperature first before using as per your recipe instructions.
