Ingredients

Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

• 2 c (16 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 2/3 c (5 oz) granular Swerve*

Ca Phe Sua Da

• 2 tbsp Cafe Du Monde’s “Coffee and Chicory” ground coffee*
• 6.5 oz water
• sweetened condensed milk to taste
• ice

Directions

1. Sweetened Condensed Milk: Combine coconut milk and Swerve in a medium pot over medium heat and give it a quick stir to combine. Extra space in the pot is necessary as this will bubble up.
2. Once a simmer is achieved, let it cook until it’s reduced by half; 60 minutes. Don’t stir it at all while it cooks as this promotes crystallization.
3. Note: If the mixture bubbles up too much, reduce the heat just a little bit until it’s no longer overflowing.
4. After 60 minutes, turn off the heat and transfer milk to a food processor or personal blender cup and blend on high for about 30 seconds.
5. Use immediately or store in fridge for up to two weeks or until ready to use.
6. Ca Phe Sua Da: Bring 6.5 oz of water to a boil in a small pot (the 0.5 is for evaporation).
7. Remove the lid and top screen of a Vietnamese Coffee Filter. Add in Cafe Do Monde coffee grounds and lightly screw on the top screen.
8. Add three tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to a cup and place the coffee filter on top cup.
9. Pour a small amount of water into the filter and wait 30 seconds. Pour in the rest of the water, place on the lid, and allow the water to pass through the coffee grounds; about 4 minutes.
10. Remove filter from the cup and stir to incorporate the milk. It should be light in color and very sweet; if needed, add more sweetened condensed milk.
11. Add ice up to the top of the cup and enjoy while cold! Keep in mind, this is enough coffee for two people and is heavily caffeinated.

*Swerve really is the best low-carb sweetener here because it actually caramelizes like sugar, which is key for sweetened condensed milk’s flavor.
*I was going to link to Cafe Du Monde on Amazon, but it’s so much more expensive online that it hurts my heart. BUT, it comes in a 15 ounce bright orange tin and can be found at most American markets as well as Oriental markets for five to six bucks.
