Sugar Free Condensed Milk
Description
Sugar Free Condensed Milk is made by gently simmering milk—whether coconut, whole, or almond milk—with a sugar alternative like Swerve, stirring constantly until the mixture reduces and thickens, a process that can take up to 1.5 hours. Skimming the surface helps maintain smoothness. For improved texture, guar gum can be whisked in after dilution with cooled milk, allowing for immediate thickening.
After reaching the desired viscosity, the mixture is removed from heat, and butter along with vanilla extract is incorporated to enrich flavor and mouthfeel. The final condensed milk can be cooled and stored refrigerated for use in recipes where traditional condensed milk is called for, providing a sugar-reduced option.
Xanthan gum is noted as an acceptable alternative to guar gum for thickening. Omitting butter makes this suitable for a vegan diet.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk coconut, whole milk, almond
- 1/2 cup sugar alternative Swerve brand; adjust to your preference
- 3 tablespoons butter omit for vegan option
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon guar gum optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan add milk and sugar alternative together and simmer over medium heat. Stir constantly and when the milk shows small bubbles lower the heat to simmer.
- Continue to simmer until milk reduces and begins to thicken (this can take up to 1 1/2 hours). Skim the top of the milk if a layer forms.
- To thicken with guar gum, in a small bowl quickly whisk together guar with a couple of tablespoons of the cooled milk. Add it to the mix and immediately whisk in.
- Once the desired thickness is achieved remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Cool and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Xanthan gum can substitute for guar gum if preferred for thickening.
