Homemade Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

Table of Contents

Description

This sugar-free condensed milk is a creamy, rich, and smooth substitute for traditional condensed milk—perfect for keto, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly desserts. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this homemade version tastes just like the real thing and can be used in baking, coffee, and sweet treats.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
¼ cup unsalted butter
⅓ cup powdered sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Heat the Ingredients
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine heavy cream and butter. Stir occasionally until butter is melted.
Simmer & Reduce
- Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will reduce by about half.
Sweeten & Flavor
- Add the powdered sweetener and stir until dissolved. If using allulose, it will dissolve smoothly without crystallizing.
Thicken the Mixture
- Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Cool & Store
- Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes & Tips

✔ Best Sweeteners: Allulose is preferred as it dissolves well and doesn’t crystallize. Erythritol may harden over time, so mix well before use.
✔ Dairy-Free Option: Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and butter with coconut oil.
✔ Consistency Check: The condensed milk thickens further after cooling. If too thick, warm it slightly and stir.
✔ Storage Tip: Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

Q & A

❓ Can I use this in recipes that call for regular condensed milk?
✔ Yes! This works in most recipes that require condensed milk, such as fudge, pies, and caramel sauce.

❓ Why is my condensed milk grainy?
✔ If using erythritol, it can crystallize. Try using allulose or a powdered sweetener for a smoother texture.

❓ Can I make this vegan?
✔ Yes! Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and coconut oil instead of butter.

❓ Can I make this thicker?
✔ Simmer longer or add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum, blending well to avoid lumps.
