Sugar-Free Condensed Milk with Just 3 Ingredients!

Condensed milk is a staple ingredient in many desserts, but traditional versions are packed with sugar. This sugar-free condensed milk recipe is easy to make with just three ingredients, providing the same creamy texture and sweet taste without the added sugar!

Why Make Sugar-Free Condensed Milk?

Traditional condensed milk contains high amounts of sugar, which can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to health issues. By making a sugar-free version at home, you have full control over the ingredients and can enjoy a guilt-free alternative that works well in keto, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly diets. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make and can be stored for future use!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/3 cup (50g) powdered sweetener (such as erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)

Instructions:

Step 1: Heat the Ingredients

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir occasionally until the butter melts completely.

Step 2: Simmer the Mixture

  1. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the powdered sweetener until fully dissolved.
  2. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until it thickens and reduces by half.
  3. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the consistency and cause separation.

Step 3: Cool and Store

  1. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
  3. Transfer to an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  4. When ready to use, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or warm slightly if needed.

Tips & Variations:

  • For a thicker texture, let it simmer a little longer.
  • For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk and coconut oil.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract at the end.
  • Use in recipes like sugar-free fudge, keto flan, or as a coffee sweetener.
  • Experiment with sweeteners: While erythritol and monk fruit work well, some people prefer allulose for a smoother consistency.
