Ingredients

  • 3¼ cups almond milk (770ml)
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch (8g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (4g)
  • 1½ cups raw cane sugar (300g)

Instructions

  • In a non stick medium sized saucepan, on medium heat, pour the almond milk into the saucepan.
  • Whisk in the tapioca starch until it has completely dissovled.
  • Add the vanilla extract and raw cane sugar.
  • Mix and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer while constantly stirring for 40-50 minutes until the condensed milk starts to thicken and reduce to about ⅔.
  • Once thickening has reached, leave to completely cool down before transfering to a sterilised mason jar (it will thicken up A LOT when cold).
  • Keep in the refrigerator and use accordingly.

Notes

  • In order to replicate the results that are shown, it is very important to use the SAME ratio of ingredients.
  • This recipe makes the equavalent of 1 cup worth of condensed milk.
  • Keep the condensed milk refrigerated and stored in a sterilised mason jar for 5-7 days.
  • It is perfectly normal for the condensed milk to be dark in colour, the colour will vary depending on colour of your raw cane sugar.
  • You can use coconut sugar instead, I'm not sure if this recipe will work with liquid sweetener (i.e agave, maple syrup)
  • Keep in mind that the condensed milk will thicken in its entirety once it is COLD.
  • I recommed leaving the condensed milk to completely set overnight or several hours in the refrigerator once cool.
  • If for whatever reason your condensed milk doesn't thicken up, return it to the stove to do further reduction (15-20 minutes).
  • Make sure you simmer the condensed milk for atleast 40 minutes, if you remove it from the stovetop too early the recipe may not work.
  • DO NOT exceed the amount of tapioca starch or you run the risk of your condensed milk being gummy.
  • Feel free to use any other creamy plant based milk i.e cashew, hazelnut etc..
