Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickness)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and granulated sugar substitute.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Once the sweetener has dissolved completely, add the unsalted butter and continue to stir until fully melted.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half and thickens to a consistency similar to traditional sweetened condensed milk.
If you prefer a thicker texture, whisk in the xanthan gum during the last few minutes of cooking and stir well to incorporate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool completely. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the substitute sweetened condensed milk to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
