Servings: 1 500g Jar
Calories: 1330kcal
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk must be 60% extract or more
- 150 g caster sugar
Instructions
- Add the tin of coconut milk to a large saucepan, next add the weighed caster sugar and mix to combine. Don't worry about any lumps, these will dissolve on heating.
- Place on a high heat until you see a rolling boil (bubbles rolling from the edge of the pan into the middle).
- Turn the heat down to medium high (e.g. 7 on an induction hob) and set a timer for 30 mins. TOP TIP: Keep checking in on the reduction every 10 minutes just in case.
- The liquid will turn a translucent colour as the sugar heats and the coconut milk reduces. I think it looks like wallpaper paste!
- After 30 minutes your condensed milk will have reduced substantially possibly by a third.
- Allow to cool slightly before pouring into a heat proof jug to cool completely. Once cooled you can use this an an ingredient in many dairy free recipes on this very website!
