Homemade Sweetened-Condensed Coconut Milk is thick and decadent used in dessert recipes. Homemade is always better than store-bought. Use in all your recipes that call for Sweetened Condensed Milk as a dairy-free and refined sugar-free substitute. 
Prior to switching my diet I was exhausted all the time. I don’t mean tired I mean exhausted. There were occasions where I was not comfortable driving because I was so exhausted.
Homemade Sweetened-Condensed Coconut Milk:
All in all, I make homemade sweetened condensed milk and have used it in several of my recipes on my blog. In fact, it’s about time to make sure this recipe its own blog post. I have used it in my Coconut Pecan Frosting and Marzicroon Cookies. Not to mention, that I can’t have any of the sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk on the market as they have refined sugar. Therefore, I took to the internet to find out how to make your own. Needless to say, I make it the day before. Then refrigerate in a canning jar. I found that it tends to get thicker once cooled. Make sure you let it cool before you place it in a glass jar.
