In many Filipino sweets and desserts, condensed milk usually plays a major role. It’s used for making purple yam Ube, egg custard Leche Flan, and candy-like custard, Yema.
But just like the ever growing creative ways to enjoy a vegan dish, condensed milk too, can be veganized. It didn’t take that long until I found this recipe online from: WikiHow.com
I’ve adopted the recipe but tweaked it to further sweeten and thicken the milk.
Vegan condensed milk on top of vegan bran cupcake.
INGREDIENTS:
(Makes about 3 cups)
- 3 1/2 cups soy milk
- 6 tbsp vegan butter (I used the Nucoa brand)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- egg replacer = (I used Ener-G Egg replacer: 1 1/2 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer plus 2 tbsp water)
DIRECTIONS:
- In a sauce pan, heat the soymilk over medium heat until boiling
- In a separate pan, melt the butter than add sugar. Incorporate well.
- Combine and pour in the soymilk and mix well.
- Add a pinch of salt.
- Keep mixing over low heat then add the egg replacer. Mix gently until boiling and until milk thickens.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool. Enjoy!
I also used my vegan condensed milk to make some Yema for my foodie penpal. The milk recipe proved to be successful but the rest of the components of my Yema didn’t reach the same consistency (replacing egg yolks was trickier than I thought).
Just like any type of cooking or baking, vegan or not, it takes trial and error before reaching a winning result. Hey, at least I have good condensed milk to start with.
I have been wondering about this – but never researched it! Thanks! I’ve passed up lots of recipes because I didn’t think there was a “vegan version.”
Thanks! Coming from you, I wouldn’t have known that you felt that way, your recipes are so innovative
I’ll definitely try this for my ‘dulce de leche’ coffee. thanks again.
Ooo “Dulce de leche” coffee, that sounds so good. Leme know how it goes, perhaps a guest post? hehe
Wow! This is brilliant! I am going to try this with my Thai teas.
I cant wait to try this! It looks delicious on that cupcake!
wow- this is awesome! the only vegan version i’ve ever heard of for condensed milk is coconut milk! i will have to try this!
sounds like a great version.there are so many indian sweets which call for condensed milk too and sometimes coconut milk doesnt work as well.
Have you tried to do Leche Flan in a vegan version?
Or do you know any filipino blog did it?
Thanks
Great suggestion! My friend, Aileen Suzara of http://www.kitchenkwento.com was just telling me about it too. I haven’t made it yet but will do soon. Pls stay updated
