Ingredients

2 13.5-oz cans full-fat coconut milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 40 to 50 more minutes, whisking frequently until it thickens.
Cool the vegan condensed milk to room temperature, then refrigerate it in an airtight container for 7 to 10 days.

Notes

To get the same creamy consistency as traditional condensed milk, it’s important to use full-fat coconut milk as the base for your vegan sweetened condensed milk.
Sweeten your coconut condensed milk with a mix of maple syrup and coconut sugar to bring out deeper flavors! Just a heads-up: the coconut milk mixture will turn golden, and you’ll need to simmer it longer since the liquid sweetener adds volume and changes the consistency.
Patience is key because cooking your dairy-free condensed milk over low heat can take up to 50 minutes. You’ll also need to stir constantly to prevent it from burning at the bottom.
