How to Make Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

Step 1

Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan, and heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes. Watch this pot closely! Once the coconut milk starts to boil, it can bubble over quickly. Whisk regularly to prevent burning.

Step 2

Reduce the heat, bringing the coconut milk to a simmer, then add the sweetener, whisking until it's completely dissolved.

Step 3

Allow to simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.

Step 4

Remove from the heat, and allow to cool completely before using in recipes. This sweetened condensed coconut milk should last for at least a week when stored in a sealed container in the fridge.
