Oat Milk Sweetened Condensed Milk

This vegan sweetened condensed milk is made from just three simple ingredients, offering a convenient and completely dairy-free alternative. Its versatility makes it an ideal addition to a variety of recipes, whether enhancing the flavor of morning coffee or adding richness to ice cream. When kept in the fridge, it stays fresh and tasty for up to two weeks.

What you will need:

I love making my own sweetened condensed milk, especially since it’s tough to find anything beyond coconut-based versions, and I don’t always want that flavor in my baking. Coconut has its place, but not in everything. This recipe comes together with just three ingredients in about 45 minutes, and I use oat milk as the base for its mild, neutral taste.

Ingredients:

• oat milk
• cane sugar
• vanilla extract

How to:

This sweetened condensed milk is super simple to make. Start by combining the milk and sugar in a medium pot. Place the pot over medium heat bringing the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat bringing the mixture to a simmer, maintaining the simmer until the mixture reduces by half – you want to end up with 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. As the mixture is reducing, it will become darker and thicker. Make sure to stir the mixture regularly as it is simmering and reducing. Once the mixture has reduced by half, remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring well.

The beauty of making sweetened condensed milk at home is that you have complete control over how it tastes, you decide how much to make, what milk you want to use and how sweet you want it to be. You also have the opportunity to add some flavor like cinnamon, almond extract, chocolate or give it a fall spice flare. Your taste buds are making all the decisions, have fun with it.

Alright, let’s get started. Please make and enjoy!

• 2 cups oat milk
• ¾ cup cane sugar
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Pour the milk and sugar into a medium pot, place it over medium heat, and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  
• Allow it to come to a boil and then turn the heat down, allowing it to simmer until it has reduced by half- you want to end up with 1 cup of condensed milk. This will take about 45 minutes. Stir regularly as the mixture is reducing. It will start to thicken slightly and become a more caramelized color.
• Once it’s reduced by half, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla until combined. Pour into a heat-safe container and let it cool. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it should keep for up to 2 weeks.
