WNY Food Allergy Connection – Holiday Recipes

 

1 cup hot tap water

2 cups sugar

2 cups non-fat dry soy or rice milk powder  (call Wegman’s, Tops, or Feel Rite for this powder mix, brand name I’ve seen is Better Than Milk… or buy online) 

6 tablespoons melted margarine  (dairy free, soy free if allergic) 

 

You can beat the mixture with electric beaters if you prefer, but a blender really does a better job.  Measure your hot water into the blender.  Add the sugar, dry milk replacement powder and melted margarine.  Put the lid on the blender and whirl it around for a full minute.  The mixure will be kind of thin, but will thicken up after standing for about an hour.  This recipe makes about 3 cups, or the equivalent of two cans of condensed milk.  Each store-bought can of sweetened condensed milk contains about 1-1/ 3  cups.   This recipe is equivalent to two cans.   

The mixture may be measured and used right away in any recipe calling for sweetened condensed milk.  Or for longer storage, divide the mixture equally between two clean pint size canning jars.  Store them in the fridge for a week.  Or for longer storage, freeze them for a few months, and then just thaw before using.
