Cake – Most cake recipes don’t use condensed milk, but it’s a classic in keto German chocolate cake or keto tres leches.

Bars – This sugar-free condensed milk recipe works great as a binder for dessert bars.

Ice Cream – This is my favorite use for condensed milk! My super easy keto ice cream recipe uses it as a base and requires only a few ingredients.

I also use it to make 5 flavors of keto coffee creamer!

Coffee – You can stir keto condensed milk into bulletproof coffee, regular coffee, or your favorite coffee drink.

Here are some ideas, including recipes I’ve made with it:

It’s so versatile and can be used anywhere that a traditional version is called for, including keto baking recipes. Once you make this keto condensed milk recipe, you’ll be able to use it anywhere you would use the regular kind.

Freeze: Yes, you can freeze this recipe! Store the keto condensed milk in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3-4 months.

Be careful not to overheat, and avoid using the microwave, both of which can cause it to separate.

Reheat: Scoop the condensed milk (which may be solid) into a saucepan and reheat on the stove over low heat.

See instructions below to reheat, which will make it runny again. It will definitely turn solid in the fridge, which is normal and actually beneficial for many recipes.

What to do if it hardens: Low carb sweetened condensed milk won’t harden while cooking, but if it’s reduced a lot, it can harden when it cools to room temperature.

It’s good for at least a week, or until your cream’s expiration date.

Store: Low carb condensed milk stores very well, for a similar amount of time that opened heavy cream would.

This keto condensed milk recipe is much better – it has just 1 net carb in that same amount. Regular sweetened condensed milk has over 20 grams of sugar (and carbs) per 2-tablespoon serving. However, most uses for sugar-free condensed milk need it to be sweet. I haven’t tried this, but in theory yes, you could make an unsweetened condensed milk recipe by omitting the sweetener. Similar to cooking for too long, using too high heat will also turn your milk into caramel sauce. Nothing wrong with that – just enjoy the caramel if this happens. If you cook your condensed milk for too long, it will brown and turn into sugar-free caramel sauce. Also, this keto sweetened condensed milk recipe will thicken more as it cools from hot to warm. If your condensed milk is too thin, it needs to cook for longer. Remember to use a large skillet or saute pan, not a small saucepan, as smaller pans will take a very long time. If you use a different sugar substitute, both of these issues can result in a grainy texture. As explained above, I recommend using either Besti Powdered or powdered allulose, to ensure that the sweetener dissolves completely and won’t crystallize.

Vanilla Extract – This is not required, and not included in regular condensed milk, but feel free to stir it in at the end if you want that flavor.

Almost all other brands of sweetener (including most brands of monk fruit and stevia) use erythritol as a bulking agent, which won’t dissolve well and crystallizes, so I don’t recommend them. However, plain powdered allulose will work equally well - you’ll just need 33% more of it. As mentioned above, the most important characteristics it has for making sugar-free condensed milk are that it dissolves like sugar does and won’t crystallize, which is why it’s the only one I recommend for the silky smooth texture you want.

Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – I wasn’t happy with the low carb sweetener options out there, so I made my own! This is my favorite and the only one I use now, because it tastes and acts just like sugar.

Please let me know (in the comments below) how it goes if you try a dairy-free version! Coconut cream or full-fat canned coconut milk should work as a dairy-free substitute, but the recipe still has butter and I haven’t tried replacing that. Half and half or most other keto milk options won’t work, as the fat content is necessary for sugar-free keto condensed milk to thicken. Heavy Cream – This is sometimes called heavy whipping cream.For measurements, see the recipe card below.
