In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and Splenda.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, to dissolve the Splenda completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the milk has reduced by half.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.
If desired, add the vanilla extract and stir well.
Let the sweetened condensed milk cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
