Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Why these ingredients work:
Heavy cream provides richness and thickness, while powdered sweetener dissolves smoothly for a silky texture. Butter enhances flavor and helps mimic the mouthfeel of traditional condensed milk.
Ingredient Notes
Heavy whipping cream is essential for achieving that classic creamy consistency. Using powdered sweetener instead of granulated prevents graininess and ensures a smooth finish. Monk fruit or erythritol keeps the recipe sugar-free and keto-approved. Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth, while a pinch of salt balances the sweetness beautifully.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by placing a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the heavy whipping cream and butter, stirring gently until the butter melts completely and the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
Slowly whisk in the powdered sweetener, making sure it dissolves fully. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching. The mixture should gently simmer, not boil.
Continue stirring occasionally as the liquid thickens. Over time, it will reduce and transform into a rich, creamy consistency similar to traditional condensed milk. You’ll notice the color deepen slightly and the texture become luxuriously smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the mixture cool slightly—it will thicken even more as it rests.
Once cooled, transfer your Keto Condensed Milk to a jar or container and use immediately or store for later.
Pro Tips and Variations
For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a subtle coconut flavor. Add cocoa powder for keto chocolate condensed milk, perfect for desserts. If you prefer extra sweetness, adjust the sweetener to taste after cooking. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and always keep the heat low for the creamiest results. This recipe can be doubled easily for baking projects or holiday desserts.
Serving Suggestions
This Keto Condensed Milk is incredibly versatile. Use it to sweeten coffee or iced lattes, drizzle over keto pancakes, or blend into smoothies for added richness. It’s also perfect for low-carb desserts like keto fudge, cheesecakes, ice cream, and fat bombs. Anywhere traditional condensed milk is used, this keto version fits right in.
Storage Information
Store keto condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It will thicken as it chills, so gently warm it before using if needed. Stir well after reheating to restore its smooth, creamy texture.
