Creating your own sugar-free condensed milk at home is a simple and rewarding process. This rich and creamy substitute is perfect for those following low-carb or keto diets, allowing you to enjoy your favorite desserts without the added sugars found in traditional condensed milk.
Ingredients:
- 2½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup powdered allulose (or your preferred powdered sugar-free sweetener)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and powdered allulose. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sweetener dissolves completely.
- Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently. Continue to stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer until the volume reduces by about half and the mixture thickens to a consistency that coats the back of a spoon. This process typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
- Add Vanilla (Optional): If desired, stir in the vanilla extract during the last few minutes of simmering for added flavor.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the condensed milk cool to room temperature. As it cools, it will continue to thicken. Once cooled, transfer it to a glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
This homemade sugar-free condensed milk is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various low-carb and keto-friendly recipes, such as desserts, coffee, or any dish that calls for traditional sweetened condensed milk. By preparing it yourself, you have control over the ingredients, ensuring a healthier alternative without compromising on taste or texture.
