If you’re looking for keto condensed milk, the idea is to replicate the creamy sweetness of traditional sweetened condensed milk but without sugar or carbs. Here’s a simple approach:
Keto Condensed Milk Recipe
Ingredients (makes ~1 cup):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine cream & sweetener: In a small saucepan, mix heavy cream and sweetener over medium-low heat.
- Simmer gently: Bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently. Do not let it boil.
- Reduce: Simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens by about half. It should coat the back of a spoon.
- Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool; it will thicken further.
- Store: Pour into a jar and refrigerate. Lasts up to 2 weeks.
💡 Tips & Variations:
- For a slightly lower-fat version, you can use unsweetened almond milk, but it won’t be as thick and creamy.
- If you want a pourable condensed milk, stop reducing a little earlier. For a spreadable or dessert-style version, reduce longer.
- Works perfectly in keto coffee drinks, desserts, or fat bombs.
If you want, I can give a ready-to-use keto condensed milk substitute for recipes like flan or tres leches cake that tastes surprisingly close to the real thing. Do you want me to do that?
