homamade condensed keto milk

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk substitute)

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener; adjust to taste)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, heavy cream, and powdered erythritol.

Heat Mixture: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Do not let it come to a boil; just bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add Butter: Once the mixture is heated through and the erythritol is mostly dissolved, add the unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Simmer: Lower the heat and continue to simmer the mixture for about 20-30 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. The mixture will reduce and thicken. It should reduce by about half.
Cool and Thicken: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract if using. Allow the condensed milk to cool. It will thicken more as it cools.
Store: Transfer the keto condensed milk to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should keep for about 1-2 weeks.

Tips:
Sweetener Adjustments: You can adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste. Some people prefer a bit more sweetness, while others might want less.
Consistency: If your condensed milk isn’t thick enough after cooling, you can return it to the stove and simmer it a bit longer to thicken.
Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with other flavorings like almond extract or cocoa powder if you want to customize your condensed milk.
This keto condensed milk works great in recipes that call for traditional sweetened condensed milk and can be used in various keto-friendly desserts and treats!
