SAUCES: SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK (click here to print)

Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (makes 2-1/2 cups):

Ingredients:
2 (14-ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 cup splenda (or equivalent sweetener to 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 to taste, optional

Directions:
To make the Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, add coconut milk to a small heavy saucepan and stir in sweetener of choice, butter and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. After milk comes to a boil, reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, stirring and whisking frequently for about 45 minutes until reduced by almost half. 

If a thicker condensed milk is desired, whisk in 3 to 4 pinches of xanthum gum (1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon), at the end of reduction; heating and whisking in a little at a time until thickened (I add 3 pinches to mine). Taste for sweetness. If additional sweetness is desired, add liquid stevia until desired sweetness is achieved (I add 1 to 2 teaspoons liquid 

Makes approximately 2-1/2 cups of sweetened condensed coconut milk. Cool before using in 
recipes. Refrigerate any unused portion.
