This Slow Cooker Sweetened Condensed Milk recipe makes exactly the measurement of the 14 ounce can that recipes call for. Feel free to double it or triple it all at once for multiple recipes.
Any goodie you can think of, in fact, because you have super easy recipes to get you over the dairy hump. Don't forget that it freezes really well too.
Ingredients
- Dairy-free milk is what this recipe is all about. Well, that and treats.
- Coconut sugar adds a different type of sweet flavor in a very understated way.
- Dairy-free butter adds depth to the flavor.
- Vanilla extract adds so much flavor to the final product.
Instructions
- This recipe will give you a 14 ounce 'can' of vegan sweetened condensed milk when it is all done.
- Do watch it though because you may think your old crockpot cooks just fine but they really do lose wattage over the years. You'll think you're cooking on high but you're not.
- Add the non-dairy milk, butter, and coconut sugar to the crockpot.
- Stir well.
- Do NOT cover because it has to cook down to become condensed.
- Stir about every 30 minutes, just for checking.
- Cook on high for 1 ½ hours.
- Add vanilla and stir.
- Pour in a measuring cup to make sure you have the right measurement.
- I say to do this because some slow cookers might cook a little bit hotter.
- If it has condensed too much you can add a little bit more almond milk to get the measurement correct.
Double or triple this recipe and you can take advantage of more than one of your baking recipes that have sweetened condensed milk as one of the ingredients.
It will keep about 2 weeks in your refrigerator and freezes very well.

Well, you can Kathleen. Organic white sugar will be vegan and the same measurement. Stevia will only be about 1/2 teaspoon. For truvia I believe you would need a little bit more than 1/3 cup. Keep in mind that stevia and truvia will taste very different from true sweetened condensed milk.

Do i need to melt the butter first?

No, you don't ne3ed to do that Holly.
