Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk
Description
This recipe produces a sugar-free version of sweetened condensed milk by slowly boiling heavy cream, evaporated milk, and a sweetener like allulose or xylitol in a wide skillet. Cooking for about 10 minutes with constant stirring evaporates water content and thickens the mixture. The correct consistency is reached when the liquid coats the back of a spoon and holds a line drawn with a finger.
The result is a smooth, pourable syrup that thickens further once cooled, turning into a consistency similar to lemon curd when refrigerated. This thickening behavior makes it practical for use in recipes requiring condensed milk without the sugar content. Reheating briefly or stirring can restore pourability if chilled too long.
Use of a wide pan accelerates evaporation, making the process efficient. It is advised to avoid erythritol sweeteners, as they tend to create a grainy texture. Sweetness level can be tailored by adjusting the amount of sweetener or adding liquid sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit after cooking.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ⅓ cup allulose sweetener or xylitol
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a non-stick large (~12") sauce pan or skillet with high sides, and put on medium-high heat.
- Get it to slow boil for about 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until it's thickened to coat the back of the spoon.
- Let it cool down before transferring to a jar. The sugar-free condensed milk will thicken more as it cools. To prevent formation of skin on top, stir it a few times as it cools, or cover it with waxed paper or cling wrap touching the surface.
Notes
- Use a wide skillet to speed up evaporation and reduce cooking time.
- Avoid erythritol sweeteners to prevent grainy texture; use allulose or xylitol instead.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing sweetener up to 30 grams or adding liquid sweeteners after cooking.
- The condensed milk thickens in the refrigerator; warm it briefly or stir to make it pourable again.
