Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sweeteners:
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit)
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Gather essential components of milk, powdered erythritol, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium saucepan.
- Position the saucepan over moderate temperature, stirring continuously to dissolve erythritol and create a uniform liquid blend.
- Gradually elevate the mixture’s temperature until it reaches a gentle bubbling point, then reduce heat to maintain a soft simmer.
- Maintain consistent stirring while allowing the liquid to condense, watching carefully as the volume reduces and the texture transforms into a rich, creamy consistency.
- Monitor the mixture’s thickness by periodically testing its coating ability on the back of a wooden spoon – the liquid should leave a clear path when a finger is drawn through it.
- After approximately 45-60 minutes of careful reduction, remove the saucepan from heat source and let the condensed milk rest briefly.
- Pour the warm mixture through a fine mesh strainer to eliminate potential solidified particles, ensuring a silky smooth final product.
- Transfer the strained condensed milk into a clean, airtight glass container, allowing it to cool completely at ambient temperature.
- Once cooled, securely seal the container and refrigerate, where the sugar-free condensed milk will maintain optimal quality for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Experiment with different sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia to find your preferred taste profile and texture in the condensed milk.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning and ensure even heat distribution during the reduction process.
- Stir frequently and watch the mixture closely to avoid scorching, as the sugar-free version can be more delicate than traditional condensed milk.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a small amount of MCT oil or coconut cream to enhance the creamy consistency and mouthfeel.
