Sugar Free Condensed Milk
This sugar free condensed milk uses milk (dairy or alternatives) simmered with a sugar substitute and reduced slowly to thicken. Butter and vanilla extract enrich the final product, while optional guar gum helps achieve a creamier, thicker texture. It serves as a low-sugar alternative to traditional condensed milk.

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.
