Ingredients

1 can of organic coconut milk optional or additive free full fat coconut milk (400ml/14oz)
¼ cup of organic coconut palm sugar (40g) organic cane sugar works too

Instructions

Start off by pouring the coconut milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Be sure to keep a watchful eye so the milk doesn't burn or bubble over
Once boiled, reduce the heat to low and pour in the raw cane sugar - whisk thoroughly
Allow the saucepan to simmer for 40 minutes - throughout this time, stir the mixture constantly.
Once the condensed milk has reduced in volume to about ⅓ and slightly thick (it should stick to the back off a spoon, set aside until cool.
Transfer to a mason jar and leave to get completely cold in the refrigerator. The mixture will thicken more with time.

Notes

- As the condensed milk is forming the amount of liquid in the pan will be around ⅓ and this is normal.

- Keep the condensed milk refrigerated when cool in a sterilised mason jar for 5-7 days.

- You can use coconut sugar instead.

- You should be left with about ½ cups worth of condensed milk.

- For those of you who don't care for the slight taste in coconut, try my Vegan Condensed Milk made with almond milk instead.

- Make sure you are constantly stirring the condensed milk throughout the given time, don't leave it unattended.

- The condensed milk will thicken up completely once it is completely COLD.

- Patience is key here, it will take up to 40 minutes for the condensed milk to form, don't rush this process or remove the milk from the stove too early.

- Depending on what sweetener you use may have an impact on the colour. For example coconut sugar tends to result in a dark hue which is perfectly normal.
