Ingredients
Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Cup whole milk
- 1/2 Cup Swerve Sweetener or granulated erythritol
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/8 Teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 drops stevia extract
Procedure
Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine cream, milk and erythritol over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently, until mixture is reduced by half. No matter how often you stir, thick bits of milk will form on the sides. Leave it there and try not to disturb it when stirring, or you will get chunky bits in your condensed milk. Add butter and let melt, then briskly whisk in xanthan gum. Let mixture cool to room temperature and stir in vanilla and stevia extracts. Yields 1 cup.
