Keto Condensed Milk Recipe
Introduction
This Keto Condensed Milk is a rich and creamy low-carb alternative perfect for keto desserts and coffee. Made with simple ingredients, it offers the sweetness and texture of traditional condensed milk without the carbs.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (such as allulose or monk fruit)
Instructions
- Step 1: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Step 2: Reduce the heat to low, then add the butter and powdered sweetener. Stir until the butter is melted and the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Step 3: Continue simmering for 15–20 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture reduces by about half and thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Step 4: Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips & Variations
- Use a low-carb powdered sweetener that dissolves easily, like allulose, to keep the texture smooth.
- Stir constantly during simmering to prevent the cream from burning or sticking to the pan.
- For a slightly caramel flavor, cook a bit longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
Storage
Store the keto condensed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To use, gently warm it if it has thickened too much; it will smooth out with light stirring.

FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sweetener?
Regular sugar is not keto-friendly and won’t dissolve as smoothly, so it’s best to stick with keto-approved powdered sweeteners for the right texture and to keep it low carb.
Can I make this dairy-free?
This recipe relies on heavy cream and butter for its creamy texture, so it’s challenging to make dairy-free. However, you might try coconut cream and coconut oil, but expect a different flavor and consistency.
