    Slow Cooker Sweetened Condensed Milk is in a footed glass and is standing on a white burlap square and a chocolate colored napkin then it's on a olive green cloth.

    Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk is as easy as 1-2-3 when it comes from the slow cooker. Excellent in all baking goods calling for the traditional thick creamy sweetener.

    There are so many old-fashioned recipes that I don't want to lose. Ones that call for sweetened condensed milk.

    Well this Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk is excellent in all recipes calling for this traditionally rich canned creamer.

    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 the 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!

    Easy homemade condensed milk

    This recipe only has 4 ingredients and is cooked in the crockpot so you don't even have to watch it.

    Dive right into the recipe and be prepared for the future baking day. It is so simple and rewarding. No sweet needs will ever be ignored again.

    With all of the helpful ingredients out there on the market today there is no need to go without. Any recipes can be turned into a dairy-free one.

    I just posted a Dairy-Free Evaporated Milk about a week or two ago and I was going to do a close follow-up post with this recipe.

    Well, time sure flies. Not too late though so let's get making goodies!

    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.

    More homemade essentials

    • Evaporated Milk is another important ingredient in many recipes. This one also comes from a slow cooker.
    • You can never have too much Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing and this recipe is spot on!
    • Homemade Chocolate Syrup comes in handy once in a while and this tastes just like the syrup you love.
    Chocolate Syrup is in an antique green & white creamer.

      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.
