You guys! It is possible to make Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk. I don’t know about you, but I see a lot for recipes that call for sweetened condensed milk.
I always thought I had to avoid those, but now I can make some of them. This vegan sweetened condensed milk is actually super easy to make.
I checked out this site and got a basic idea. I chose coconut milk to use as my base. I liked that it is rich in texture. However, you can use any other milk you like.
I know you are probably wondering why my sweetened condensed milk is dark in color. That has to do with the coconut sugar I added.
It turns it into this caramel color.
If you had used traditional white sugar, it would probably still be white. This vegan sweetened condensed milk was so yummy!
It reminded me of caramel. All you need is 3 simple ingredients! I can see this being an awesome topping for ice cream too. Or you can swirl it into the mixture for my 3 ingredient coffee popsicles.

It's super easy to make a vegan sweetened condensed milk! Only 3 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk (or any other milk you like)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (maple syrup or honey will probably work too)
- 1 tsp ground vanilla beans
Instructions
- In a saucepan , on medium heat, add the coconut milk and the coconut sugar.
- Whisk together often. You will see the mixture start to bubble and thicken. It takes about 40 minutes. As it thickens, keep stirring. You may need to turn down the heat as it begins to thicken so you don't burn it. Keep a watchful eye one it. You want a nice simmer going.
- It should reduce down to about 1 cup. Once it's there, add in the vanilla beans and stir until those are combined.
Recipe Notes
Once the mixture has cooled, store it in a glass jar. I used mine almost immediately to make some magic bars (recipe coming soon). You can store the sweetened condensed milk in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
