Coconut And sweetened condensed milk Recipes
It’s officially baking season. The weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are falling off of the trees. It’s time to get baking. Cookie, muffins, pies, custards… you name it, I love it. I adore the smell of sweet, warm spicy treats pouring out of the oven. And I love to see the happy faces of the ones I love enjoying the goodies that I make. I’ve been on a custard and flan kick lately. Many recipes call for condensed milk, but I would rather not use the canned stuff that is loaded with questionable ingredients. Today I am sharing with you a simple dairy-free alternative to commercial sweetened condensed milk: Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk.
1 can of FULL fat coconut milk (where to buy BPA and additive free coconut milk)
1/4 cup RAW honey (like this) OR REAL maple syrup (like this)
Directions:
- In a small sauce pan, bring coconut milk to a gentle boil. Whisk in honey (or sweetener of choice.)
- Allow to actively simmer on medium heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring OFTEN. Mixture will thicken slightly, reduce by about a 1/3, and darken just a titch.
- Allow to cool completely then store in glass container for up to 5-7 days.
