How to Make Vegan Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

Step 1

Heat. In a pan on your stovetop, add the coconut milk, monkfruit sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using it), and combine. Stir and keep it on medium-low heat to dissolve the (monkfruit) sweetener without letting it settle. Then, bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Simmer. Once it boils, reduces the heat to low to keep simmering for 30 minutes. It should thicken, reduce, and slightly change color. Stir it every 5 to 7 minutes to keep it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Remove from Heat. Be sure to remove your condensed milk from the stove and transfer it into a heat-proof jar as soon as it finishes cooking. Then allow cooling.

Step 4

Cool and Store. You must let this cool before you store it. It thickens up even more after it cools. An airtight mason jar makes a perfect container for storing. Or better still, use (2-tablespoon) individual containers, which is ideal if you wish to freeze them.
