Sugar-Free Condensed Milk
Description
Sugar-Free Condensed Milk is a creamy, rich, and easy homemade alternative to traditional sweetened condensed milk made with only 3 simple ingredients. Perfect for low-carb desserts, coffee, baking, and keto-friendly recipes, this version delivers sweetness and thick texture without added sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup butter
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, and sugar-free sweetener.
- Stir continuously until butter melts completely and sweetener dissolves.
- Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 25–35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and reduces by about half.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. It will continue thickening as it cools.
- Store in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Do not boil aggressively or the mixture may separate.
- Powdered sweetener blends more smoothly than granulated.
