Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ¾ cup xylitol
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan, add the coconut milk, xylitol, vegan butter and xanthan gum.
- Whisk everything together (don't worry if the xanthan gum doesn't immediately dissolve, it will dissolve as you make the condensed milk).
- Bring the mixture to the boil, while stirring.
- Once boiled reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 30-40 minutes stirring throughout the given time until the mixture starts to thicken. Keep a watchful eye for when the mixture starts to become thicker, it won't be extremely thick so don't be alarmed, it will completely thicken up once it is completely cool.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to completely cool down.
- Once cool transfer to a mason jar and refrigerate (for best results leave for several hours or overnight before using it).
Notes
- Make sure to stir the condensed milk throughout the cooking process so it doesn't scorch.
- The condensed milk is freezer friendly, store in a freezer friendly container, I usually freeze mine (for a few days) and thaw it out on the countertop overnight.
- You can use erythritol or allulose as an alternative sweetener.
- Keep the condensed milk refrigerated (I have only tested it for 5 days) at all times and stored in a mason jar.
- Keep in mind the condensed milk will thicken as it cools down, don't be alarmed if it is liquidy after the given time.
- If you condensed milk isn't thick after allowing it to cool overnight and refrigerate it, you can remedy this by putting it in a saucepan and mixing in ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum simmer for 15 minutes before removing the pan from the heat and leaving to cool down.
- Don't skip the xanthan gum, it might seem like a small amount but this is a very crucial ingredient for thickening the condensed milk.
- Most sugar free alternatives do have an after taste however, this is subjective to switch sugar free alterative that you choose to use.
