Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk Mix
This dairy-free dry sweetened condensed milk mix makes about 4¼ cups of dry mix, which equals roughly 4 cans (14 oz each) of condensed milk when reconstituted. Each prepared “can” yields about 10–12 servings, depending on how your recipe uses it.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk powder for richness; oat milk powder if you want neutral flavor
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted, no lumps. Or Sugar-Free: Use a powdered monkfruit-erythritol blend (but note it won’t thicken quite as much as real sugar).
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder to keep smooth when reconstituted
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
Instructions
- For about 1 can (14 oz) equivalent:
- Measure 1 cup mix into a small saucepan.
- Add 1/3 cup hot water.
- Whisk and heat gently over medium-low for 5–7 minutes, until glossy and thickened.
- Use immediately, or chill — it will thicken further as it cools.
- 📝 Storage
- Dry mix: 6–8 months in a sealed jar in a cool pantry.
- Prepared dairy-free condensed milk: 5–7 days refrigerated in a sealed jar.
- 🌟 Options
- Ultra Rich: Stir in 1–2 tbsp coconut oil or vegan butter while heating.
- Sugar-Free: Use a powdered monkfruit-erythritol blend (but note it won’t thicken quite as much as real sugar).
- Flavor Twist: Add vanilla, almond, or maple extract while heating for special recipes.
