Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickness)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and granulated sugar substitute.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Step 3
Once the sweetener has dissolved completely, add the unsalted butter and continue to stir until fully melted.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by about half and thickens to a consistency similar to traditional sweetened condensed milk.
Step 5
If you prefer a thicker texture, whisk in the xanthan gum during the last few minutes of cooking and stir well to incorporate.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool completely. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the substitute sweetened condensed milk to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
