What if you’re dairy-free? No problem. Grab a can of full-fat coconut milk. Don’t use the light stuff—that’s a watery disappointment.
Pour it in a pan with ½ cup of brown sugar. Simmer it down, stirring with devotion. In 30 minutes, you’ll have a luscious, tropical-tasting condensed milk. It’s so good, you might prefer it.
Fun fact: Coconut milk has natural fats that mimic the creaminess of dairy. It’s like nature’s cheat code.
The Microwave Miracle (No Lies)
Too lazy to stand at a stove? Same. Grab a microwave-safe bowl. Mix 1 cup of powdered milk, ⅔ cup of sugar, and ⅓ cup of hot water. Whisk until smooth.
Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat two more times. Boom. You just made condensed milk in under two minutes.
Is it as silky as the real deal? Close enough. The texture is a bit grainier, but your fudge won’t care. Fudge is forgiving.
