Have you tried this with another plant milk? I make this using another recipe, but since I have been using so much in my iced coffee, I would like to find an alternative without saturated fat. I'm just wondering about the success of using soy or almond milk.

This week I am planning to make Condensed Milk using Almond milk. So go ahead and let me know how it turned out for you.
Liza
Did it work with the almond milk?
Uma Raghupathi
Not for the first time. But yes you should add little almond flour too.

This sounds wonderful for me as I'm just switching over to a vegan lifestyle and having a hard time deciding how to deal with my dislike for black coffee... Haha. But could you please tell me, how long can i store this in the fridge as it is and whether freezing some is also an option? Thank you!
Uma Raghupathi
Hello Mel. Nice to know that you are switching to vegan! This condensed milk is stays good in fridge for a month. I don't know about freezing. Because I do this every month:) Hope this is helping you:) Happy cooking:) Thanks.
