There are so many old-fashioned recipes that I don't want to lose. Ones that call for sweetened condensed milk.
Great memories are associated with these recipes and I was determined to be able to have them again. Well, now there is a perfect dairy-free substitute.
I had to hurry up and get this recipe on because we are in the throes of baking season and I refuse to miss another holiday without making my sister's, especially fantastic chocolate fudge. It makes me taste buds zing.
The recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk and I thought I would have to forego that little chocolate pleasure for the rest of my life. No more!

Dairy Free Slow Cooker Sweetened Condensed Milk
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dairy-free milk
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons dairy-free butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- I have come up with the timing and measurements that will give you a 14 ounce 'can' when it is all done.
- Add the non-dairy milk, butter and coconut sugar to the crock pot.
- 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 1/2 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.
Nutrition
This can easily be doubled if you need more than one 'can'.
It will keep about 2 weeks in your refrigerator and freezes very well.

Can you make this stove top?? I do not have a slow cooker.
Ginny McMeans
I'm sure you can Sandra. You'd have to stand over it though (watch it closely) because it will cook away much more quickly than in a closed crockpt and would burn more easily.

Hi,
Just wondering if you used a different type of coconut sugar? I just put the ingredients in the crock pot & the colour is almost caramel brown because of the coconut sugar, whereas yours looks white.
Ginny McMeans
Wow, I never thought of that. Yes, there are many brands now. I suppose some must turn the color more than others. Darn! I need to make it again with a store brand and see what happens. Do you remember the one you used? It shouldn't matter unless you want your dessert to be a light color. It will work with organic granulated sugar too. I'll do that one again and compare.
Renee Robinson
Did you make it again with granulated sugar?
Ginny McMeans
Yes, I did Renee and it worked great. Tastes delicious!
Siena
Now I can make every recipe that I want! I made an old fudge recipe that has been handed down in my family and thanks to this recipe it came out phenomenal. Thanks so much!
Kathleen
I'm allergic to coconut. Can I use truvia or stevia?
Ginny McMeans
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.
