PALEO SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
There have been so many times over the past few years where I’ve wanted to make a recipe with sweetened condensed milk, but haven’t had a good dairy free and refined sugar free substitute. Regular coconut cream just doesn’t work the same way and I couldn’t think of any other options.
I ventured out to make my own paleo sweetened condensed milk. And it is SO good!! Nice and creamy with a thick, smooth texture. The taste is rich and sweet, but not overly sweet. Perfect for all of your paleo baking needs! I plan on using it to make all sorts of recipes now, from fudge to key lime pie to Thai iced tea. OMG. Thai iced tea. So good. You can also use this sweetened condensed milk as a coffee creamer/sweetener. Seemingly decadent, but really it’s not all that unhealthy!
