How to Make Homemade Condensed Milk

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 (14-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup granulated sugar.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to thicken. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, for an additional 1 hour or until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before transferring to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to fully thicken and develop its rich flavor. Enjoy!
