Use this recipe to make Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk that can be frozen for easy access. Having this on hand is so important for anyone avoiding sugar.
My family and I are mostly sugar-free with a sizable emphasis on the “mostly”. We do our best LOL! But I have found in the past that I automatically rule out any recipe containing sweetened condensed milk because of the sugar content. If you know anything about baking, you know that eliminates a huge number of desserts.
I finally got fed up with the restriction and decided to try to create a recipe that would fit into our diet. By using heavy cream instead of milk this recipe goes from containing a lot of lactose to virtually no lactose which is good for two reasons. First, because that means it’s virtually sugar-free and second because people who are lactose intolerant would likely also be able to tolerate this version!
Pro-Tips:
- Once the Gentle Sweet is completely dissolved the only time you should whisk it is when it’s foaming up and about to overflow; a gentle whisk will make the foam die back down.
- Keep a close eye on the simmer to make sure it doesn’t simmer over onto the stove. I may or may not be speaking from experience…a very messy experience.
- You can use any nut milk you want for this recipe if you’re dairy-free.
- This recipe can be frozen to prolong the freshness for 4+ months. It’s also helpful to freeze in Ziploc bags in commonly used amounts so you are able to defrost the exact amount needed at any given time.
