Hmm, I needed sweetened condensed milk to make my Paleo Magic Bars. I know that I will now use this recipe for many other recipes, but they are the first… Enjoy!
Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (Paleo/ Vegan/ Dairy Free/ Refined Sugar Free)
1-400 ml. can of coconut milk (I’ve used various strengths of fat content with the same results)
1/2 c. maple syrup (or raw honey if not vegan)
2 tsp. vanilla
In a small sauce pan, stir together coconut milk and maple syrup. Put on medium heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Turn down to medium low and stir frequently. Keep on a low boil for 20-30 minutes. Milk will start to thicken, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool and use for whatever recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk. After cooling can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to five days.

I did not know how to make condensed milk… and to be honest, I usually just skip over recipes that call for it. No longer! Thanks for sharing Sandi =)
Thanks Kimmy!
This looks so easy to make. I am looking forward to trying this one out.
Yes it’s very easy. Just a little time consuming.
LOVE this! I occasionally use sweetened condensed milk, and I always feel little bad for all the sugar. This looks like a fantastic replacement!
Thanks for sharing with Waste Not Want Not Wednesday!
Thanks Elise!
Oh, thank you for this recipe!! I have been trying to figure out how to make sweetened condensed milk dairy-free for so long. Now I’ll be able to make some of my family’s favorite recipes without worrying about how I’ll feel afterwards. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😀
You’re very welcome Emily!
I’m definitely going to have to try this, Sandi! Thanks so much for sharing it at Savoring Saturdays. It was the most popular post, so we’re all featuring it this weekend! Hope to see you back! 🙂
Thanks Raia!!
Hi, is the canned coconut milk thick almost like a cream and if so, am I using both the thick cream and the liquid part in the can. Thanks!
Yes its the creamy coconut milk and you use the whole can.
