Chef’s Secret

For a lighter, quick dessert sauce, gently heat fat-free condensed milk with a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt until warm and slightly thinner.

Substitutions

Best Match

1:1 evaporated milk + 1 cup sugar per can

Similar consistency when sugar is added, but lacks caramel notes. Fat content will differ based on evaporated milk choice.

Full-Fat Sweetened Condensed Milk

1:1

Identical flavor and texture, but contains fat. Use if fat isn't an issue.

Coconut Milk (full-fat) + Sugar

1:1 coconut milk + 1/2 cup sugar per can (reduced)

Vegan alternative, sweet and thick. Imparts coconut flavor.

Cream + Sugar (reduced)

1:1 heavy cream + 1/2 cup sugar (simmered)
