Nature's Charm Sweetned Condensed Coconut Milk, 11.25 Ounce. (Pack of 3)

An outstanding substitute for the goodness of sweetened condensed dairy milk. Is it identical? No, of course not. But I love (LOVE) coconut, and I love Thai tea even more--so this is the *perfect* substitute for when I make Thai iced tea at home. The first time I used this I may have teared up a little bit--I hadn't had a big ol' glass of that creamy orange goodness in so long! I'm tickled to pieces with this.The consistency is wonderful, thick and creamy, and it's nice and sweet. It's not too much more expensive than dairy milk, either, which is amazing! I haven't used it in any kind of baking or cooking--I want to make a key lime pie, but I know without the dairy milk proteins (how they react with the key lime juice), I'm going to need a thickener. I think arrowroot powder should work. I can't wait to see how delicious a key lime *coconut* pie will taste!Grab yourself a few cans of this, and just do your research if you're going to use it in baking. The sweetness level is the same as sweetened condensed dairy milk, so really, you can do almost a straight across substitution. You're going to love this!

Amazing taste, great dairy free option. Use it every year for holiday recipes.

This worked as a perfect substitute. We made dairy free banana pudding. Those who are not dairy free even liked it and could hardly tell a difference.

I was very happy to find this as a lactose free option for sweetened condensed milk. However, make sure to look for recipes that use this substitute because it does not always behave the same. For example, worked well to make dulce de leche, but not so well for key lime pie as an exact replacement. After my disappointing result, I found some recipes that had the addition of some time if starch to help thicken/stabilize the recipe. When heated, it will become extremely runny.

Very strong coconut flavor, tastes sort of like candied coconut. It’s good, just not for what I wanted it for I was hoping the coconut wold be more subtle- but it’s great if what you’re looking is that kind of flavor

Cans arrived and 2 were dented. Altho their policy was no refunds, the seller was gracious to do a refund for the items. Thank you!

Next Best Thing!

Used this to make homemade coconut macaroons. They turned out well. Brought them to work and they were gobbled up. Truly a good substitute for regular condensed milk. Thick, sweet and gooey. I have dairy issues and so glad to have a substitute. I’ll be using this when I make pumpkin pie this holiday season. I’d share some pictures of the uncooked and cooked macaroons to show how they held together and cooked but it seems I cannot access my camera roll here. Sorry.
