Keto Condensed Milk

Keto sweetened Condensed Milk is a very easy recipe and such a versatile ingredient that can be used in so many low carb desserts.

If you were anything like me, there was a fair bit of condensed milk consumption as a kid. Straight from the can, or making it into caramel and boiling for 3 hours. Haha!

This low carb condensed milk without sugar is a perfect replacement. To be honest you won’t even know the difference if you use the ingredients listed.

Skip down to the recipe card to see the exact measures of ingredients needed to make your own sugar free sweetened condensed milk.

Keto Condensed milk ingredients on a white tiled backdrop.

Keto Condensed Milk is super easy to make at home. It is suitable for a low carb, keto friendly diet. It is both sugar-free and gluten free.

All you need is 3 ingredients

Cream – I use a thickened or heavy whipping cream rather than pure thin cream.

Sweetener – I use xylitol. Allulose will caramelise and turn it into caramel. Other low carb sweeteners will recrystallise e.g. erythritol, monk fruit sweetener.

Butter – I just use regular salted butter.

How to make Sugar Free Condensed Milk

Cream butter and sweetener in a small saucepan with a white spatula.

Step 1. Add the cream, butter, and sweetener to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer.

Step 2. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes until mixture has begun to thicken. Cool and chill. The condensed milk will continue to thicken with chilling time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make dairy free keto condensed milk?

Yes, you can! You can make keto condensed milk with no butter or dairy. Swap thickened cream with coconut cream and leave out butter or add some coconut butter. I find it tastes sweeter than this version but perfect for a dairy free low carb option.

How long will it last in the fridge?

I have kept mine up to 1 month in the fridge. In saying that it does depend on the temperature in the fridge and how often your fridge door is open (hello kiddos).

Can I freeze condensed milk?

Some say yes, I say just keep it in the fridge. It can separate when taken back out of the freezer. It doesn’t freeze solid which makes it perfect for keto condensed milk ice cream and loads of frozen keto dessert recipes.

Ingredients

▢ 450 g (1.9 cups) thickened or heavy cream
▢ 140 g (0.75 cups) xylitol or allulose I use Xylitol, SEE NOTES
▢ 70 g (5 tbsp) butter cubed

Instructions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

Add the ingredients to a small saucepan over medium/high heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes until mixture has begun to thicken. Cool and chill. The condensed milk will continue to thicken with chilling time.

THERMAL METHOD

Insert whisk attachment. Add ingredients to mixer; cook 60 min/100℃/speed 2/MC off/simmering basket in place on lid. Cool and chill. The condensed milk will continue to thicken with chilling time.

Notes

SWEETENERS

Xylitol is the only sweetener I recommend for this recipe. Why? Erythritol or monk fruit/erythritol blends will crystallise upon cooling.

I like to use Xylitol Sweet for this recipe. It gives perfectly smooth, crystal-free condensed milk.

PBco 100% xylitol seems to caramelise and crystallise. I am unsure why this is so, but on repeated tests it does not heat the same way other xylitol brands have shown.

A liquid allulose was also tested and made the condensed milk slightly caramel but soft and would still be perfect to use in any recipe that would lend itself to the caramel flavour.

Allulose will caramelise and turn the condensed milk into caramel.

The condensed milk will be still runny when it is cooked. Remove and chill. After chilling it will thicken slightly and be a perfect sugar-free condensed milk.

SUBSTITUTIONS

To make keto vegan condensed milk, paleo condensed milk, or unsweetened condensed milk (no sugar) and dairy free here are a couple of simple swaps. Swap the thick whipping cream with coconut cream and swap butter with coconut butter or leave out completely.

I have added more FAQs and tips in the post above should you need them.

The recipe card highlights how easy it is to make sugar free keto condensed milk in the Thermomix. When the timer is up the mixture may still be runny but will thicken in the fridge or as it cools down.

Please note my recommendations of sweeteners.

I want to make the Vietnamese Coffee and it has condensed milk in it. I wanted a sugar free version – yours looks awesome, especially using Xylitol which I have on hand!

I surely want to try this but I’m an American. Why do you measure cream in grams? Different liquids have different weight. Why did you not measure in milliliters? Confusing enough as it is, but this drives an American crazy.

  Hey Timothy, sorry to confuse. I use the grams as some of our users are weighing the ingredients. If you use the button under the ingredients to switch to cups or oz you should be good to go.
