-----------------------------------
SUGAR FREE SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK

This tasty sweetened condensed milk has a very similar flavor to that of commercial brands, but has a smoother, more balanced sweetness with a clean vanilla aftertaste, and best of all, it is a sugar free alternative. 

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 10 Tbsp Lakanto* sweetener – ground to a confectionery powder (*Or any 1:1 powdered sweetener that you prefer)
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the cream and confectionery sweetener in a deep-sided, wide pan, such as a frying pan. Set heat to medium low, stir frequently as the liquid comes to a very gentle boil. Reduce the heat and continue cooking at a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently while cream is being reduced and thickened. Control the heat carefully to prevent scorching (you may have to reduce or turn-up the heat to keep a constant brisk simmer)
2. Add the unsalted butter, stir in and simmer at low heat for one to two minutes
3. Turn off the heat, add vanilla and stir until well blended and the liquid is smooth and glossy
4. Pour into an airtight, heat proof container and either let cool on the counter for at least one hour before using (in order for flavor to develop) or refrigerate until needed. Liquid will thicken as it cools in the refrigerator – let rest one hour before using. Best if left overnight for flavors to develop

Further research has revealed that an erythritol based sweeter MAY crystallize when cooled, but that added a little bit of xantham gum MAY help to prevent that from happening. "Bocha Sweet" and "Allulose" don't crystallize, but are more expensive.

You can make a DAIRY FREE version by using full fat canned coconut milk.

Instructions for REHEATING condensed milk that has been stored in the refrigerator:

 

Best results are obtained if the condensed milk is used at room temperature, and on the day it is freshly made. However, any extra can be stored. Store the unused sugar free sweetened condensed coconut milk in an airtight container that can go from cold to hot. The content will keep in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.

 

Note that the homemade condensed milk will harden, especially if stored in the refrigerator. To reliquify, boil some water in a small and deep sauce pan. Remove the sauce pan from heat and place the container of the condensed milk into the hot water. Stir occasionally as the solid is turning back into a liquid. Stirring is important in order that all the ingredients stay emulsified. When the condensed milk has almost completely become fluid, remove the container from the water and stir to combine. Use at room temperature.

 

CAUTION: Heating directly in a pot or in a microwave will change the taste and/or the texture.

That looks really good.  Allulose is expensive, but I'm down 80 pounds and looking to lose 50 more.
