I’ve been using this keto condensed milk in my recipes for quite a while now, and I have to say—it’s a total winner!

The best part? It’s completely customizable, and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Once you try it, you’ll never want to go back to the sugar-laden version again!

Required Equipment

To make this delicious keto condensed milk, you’ll need just a few basic kitchen tools. Here’s what I recommend:

• Saucepan: A sturdy saucepan is essential for heating the ingredients and creating that smooth, creamy texture. I love using a non-stick one because it makes the process so much easier and ensures nothing sticks to the bottom.
• Whisk: A whisk is your best friend when making keto condensed milk. It helps to combine the ingredients smoothly and ensures that everything cooks evenly without lumps.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are key in this recipe, so make sure you have a good set of measuring cups and spoons on hand. This ensures you get the right amount of sweetness and consistency every time.
• Storage Containers: Once your keto condensed milk is ready, you’ll need an airtight container for storing it. I love using glass jars because they’re easy to clean, and they keep the milk fresh for a longer time.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

• Unsweetened Almond Milk (or any low-carb milk): This is the base of your keto condensed milk. I use unsweetened almond milk for its mild flavor and low-carb content. You can substitute it with other nut milks, like coconut or cashew milk, but almond milk works best for this recipe.
• Butter: Butter adds richness and a velvety smooth texture to the condensed milk. You can use unsalted butter for more control over the salt content, or opt for grass-fed butter for extra nutrition.
• Erythritol (or sweetener of choice): Erythritol is my go-to low-carb sweetener because it doesn’t spike blood sugar, but you can also use monk fruit sweetener or stevia if you prefer. Just be sure to adjust the quantity based on your sweetener’s sweetness level.
• Vanilla Extract: For a lovely depth of flavor, vanilla extract is essential. You can also experiment with other extracts like almond or hazelnut if you’re feeling adventurous!
• Xanthan Gum (optional): If you want a thicker texture, xanthan gum is a great option. It’s a keto-friendly thickener that helps create the perfect consistency for condensed milk.

How to Make Keto Condensed Milk

1. In a saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter has fully melted and the mixture starts to warm up.
2. Add the erythritol (or your preferred sweetener) to the mixture and stir until it dissolves completely. This might take a couple of minutes, so be patient.
3. Once the sweetener is dissolved, reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Keep simmering for about 10-15 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half and thickened.
4. If you’re using xanthan gum, sprinkle it in slowly while whisking to avoid clumping. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and reaches your desired consistency.
5. Once your keto condensed milk has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a glass jar or container for storage.

Tips for This Recipe

• Low and Slow: The key to making perfect keto condensed milk is cooking it on low heat. Don’t rush the process—let it simmer slowly so it thickens without burning.
• Consistency: If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up. Just add it slowly and stir well.
• Sweetness: Taste the mixture as you go and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you prefer a sweeter milk, simply add more sweetener until it’s perfect for you!

Optional Additions

• Coconut Milk: For a coconut-flavored condensed milk, try substituting some of the almond milk with full-fat coconut milk.
• Cinnamon: Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, comforting twist to your keto condensed milk. It pairs wonderfully in coffee or drizzled over keto pancakes.

Serving Ideas

Keto condensed milk is so versatile! Here are some ideas for serving it:

• Drizzle it over keto cheesecake or a low-carb pie for added richness.
• Stir it into your morning coffee or tea for a creamy, sweet touch.
• Use it as a topping for keto pancakes, waffles, or waffles.
• Add it to your homemade keto ice cream recipes for that delicious, creamy base.

Storage Recommendations

Store your homemade keto condensed milk in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last for up to 1-2 weeks. The milk will thicken as it cools, so if you want a smoother texture, simply warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds before using.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this dairy-free? Yes! Use coconut milk or another plant-based milk and substitute the butter with coconut oil or another dairy-free fat.
2. Can I use a different sweetener? Absolutely! You can use monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or any other low-carb sweetener you prefer. Just adjust the amount based on your sweetener’s sweetness level.
3. How do I know when the condensed milk is ready? It should have thickened to a syrup-like consistency. If it’s too thin, continue simmering; if it’s too thick, add a little more milk to loosen it.
