I wanted to make my own coffee creamer and needed some sweetened condensed milk.  Since I didn’t have any on hand I searched for a recipe.  I found this one that uses whole milk.  Since I didn’t have any of that either I searched for one using coconut milk.

The only issue that I found with mine is that it did not thicken until it cooled.  Maybe because I didn’t use the canned coconut milk.  I actually used store bought coconut milk but next time will make it with homemade coconut milk.  I also cut my recipe in 1/2 as I didn’t want to waste ingredients if it didn’t turn out.  It takes about 2 hours to make.  I am not sure what the shelf life would be but it must be refrigerated.  

This recipe really works!  I hope I never have to purchase a can of condensed milk again.
