Ingredients
3cupsplant-based milksoy, oat, or almond; approx. 24 fl oz (710 mL)
1cupgranulated sugarapprox. 7 oz (198 g)
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the plant-based milk and sugar over medium-low heat.
Bring just to a bare simmer, whisking constantly so the sugar dissolves and the milk doesn’t scorch or foam over.
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking every 5 minutes, until the mixture has reduced by half—about 25–30 minutes. The color should deepen slightly, and the texture should be thick but still pourable.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a clean glass jar, seal, and refrigerate.

Notes
When refrigerated, the condensed milk will firm up. For easiest mixing into batters or frostings, let it sit at room temperature for about 1–2 hours before using.
