Homemade Sweetened Coconut Milk

Sharing is caring!

Homemade Sweetened Coconut Milk is dairy-free and refined sugar-free and can be used as one would use store-bought sweetened condensed coconut milk.

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.

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 get some space. I have used it in my Coconut Pecan Frosting, Marzicroon Cookies, Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake, my crustless Double Cream Pumpkin Cheesecake.

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. I made Detoxinista’s recipe for sweetened condensed coconut milk. My recipe is below. However, I cooked mine 4-5 hours and used maple syrup on a low. 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.
