Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitute

There are so many wonderful things that require sweetened condensed milk.  For example fudge in the American culture and Tres Leches cake in the Mexican culture.  So we really needed a substitute for Sweetened Condensed milk if living Dairy free was going to be successful.  The flour I chose to use this time is rice flour, but I have used Cornstarch in the past.  I have also used combinations of tapioca and rice flour too. You might want to think twice before using only tapioca just because it has that strange gooey and slimy finished product- you know what I mean?


Sweetened Condensed Milk:

2 TBSP Butter

1 1/2 TBSP Rice Flour

1 1/4  cup Rice Milk

1/2 cup White Sugar 

  

1) Melt butter in a pan over the stove and then add the flour and stir feverishly so no lumps can form.

2) After well mixed, add milk in small amounts and then stir constantly til it starts to thicken. 

3) Add sugar and bring to a boil constantly stirring.  Turn off stove and let cool completely.

*Makes about 1 1/4 cups.  If there is a slight difference in what you need to what you have, add syrup or honey to make up the difference.
