Scale
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blend)
Instructions
- Heat the Cream: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add Butter and Sweetener: Once the cream starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Add the unsalted butter and powdered sweetener, stirring well until the butter has fully melted and the sweetener dissolves completely.
- Simmer and Thicken: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. The cream will reduce by half and thicken to a creamy consistency. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the condensed milk cool for a few minutes. Transfer it to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate, where it will thicken further.
- Serve: After cooling, your creamy homemade keto condensed milk is ready to use. Enjoy it in keto-friendly desserts, coffee, or as a topping for various treats. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
