* Vegan alternative to evaporated milk: soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk or a product called Dari-Free powder. Since you are looking for a substitute for evaporated milk, then using any of the milks listed above will make your recipe a little on the watery/weak side. You can use the above milks, but you have to also add a thickener to them like perhaps a cornstarch, potato starch or tapioca starch.

Dari-Free powder works well, and simply add extra to make the non-dairy milk thicker. Evaporated milk has 60% of its liquid removed, so you have to do the same with whatever substitute you use. With the dari-free powder, the recipe calls for a heaping tablespoon to 1 cup of water. Using  2 heaping tablespoons gets it pretty close to the consistency of evaporated milk. If you would use rice milk or soy milk, then you need to heat it some and add a tablespoon or more of cornstarch and stir to thicken till it reached the right consistency.
