The new Plant-Based Condensed Milk Alternative from Nestlé is making its way on shelves across the country, designed as the latest pantry staple for vegan baking.

Based on rice and oat flour, Nestlé’s Plant-Based Condensed Milk Alternative can be used to create desserts such as caramel slice, brownies and choc chip cookies without the use of dairy ingredients.

“We know some people struggle to find the right ingredients to replicate even the simplest of dairy free recipes, so we’re excited to see home bakers use this new product as an easy solution for their sweet creations,” said Nestlé business manager Anna Stewart.

“With at-home baking and plant-based diets on the rise across the country, we are excited to introduce a tasty alternative to sweetened condensed milk for Aussies who enjoy a sweet treat as much as a plant-based diet.” 

Nestlé Plant Based Condensed Milk Alternative will be rolling out throughout the month in most major supermarkets nationwide for RRP $3.99.
