Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and granulated sugar substitute. Whisk to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and thickened slightly. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pan to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum (if using). The butter will help give the mixture a rich and creamy texture, while the xanthan gum helps it thicken further as it cools.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. It will thicken more as it cools.
Transfer the sweetened condensed milk substitute to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Use this sugar-free condensed milk substitute in recipes just like you would use traditional sweetened condensed milk!
