The Canned Good To Substitute For Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cream of coconut can serve as an excellent substitute for sweetened condensed milk. It offers a similarly rich texture and sweetness without overwhelming coconut flavor.
Made from processed sugar and coconut cream, it can be swapped in at a one-to-one ratio. This dairy-free alternative has a nutty undertone and a similar syrupy consistency.
Its tropical flavor is not overly pronounced, and this product is an ideal option if you’re adjusting a recipe to be dairy-free.
If you want to experiment with other alternatives besides cream of coconut, simmer any type of milk on the stove with sugar over low heat, stirring frequently until thickened.
