Instructions
For the Homemade Healthy Condensed Milk:
In a sealable container or mixing bowl, combine the milk and raisins, and then place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4-5 hours. (You can also cook over medium-low heat on the stove-top, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes). Note: this process will work to naturally thicken and sweeten the milk. You can use soaked raisins as a topping for oatmeal or to sweeten smoothies so as not to waste, if you'd like).
Strain the raisins from the milk using a fine mesh strainer; discard the raisins.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 ½ cups of the homemade condensed milk, additional milk, pure maple syrup, and arrowroot starch.
Cook the mixture for 6-8 minutes, or until the mixture stars to thicken and almost begins to bubble.
Remove from heat and add in the pure vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
