Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

By Muhammad Faizan

Sugar-Free Condensed Milk

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk (full-fat or skimmed milk)

  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or any other sugar substitute)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan, pour in the milk and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  2. Add the Sweetener: Once the milk is warm, add the powdered erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute). Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.

  3. Add the Butter: Add the unsalted butter to the milk mixture and stir it until fully melted and combined.

  4. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice the milk will start to reduce and thicken.

  5. Cool and Store: Once the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half, remove it from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it into a jar or container. Allow it to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
