Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blend)
Instructions
- Heat the Cream: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add Butter and Sweetener: Once the cream starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Add the unsalted butter and powdered sweetener. Stir well until the butter has fully melted and the sweetener has completely dissolved.
- Simmer to Thicken: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. The cream will reduce by about half and thicken into a creamy condensed milk consistency. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the condensed milk to cool for a few minutes. This will help it thicken further before storing.
- Store Properly: Transfer the cooled condensed milk into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It will continue to thicken as it chills and can be stored for up to one week.
Notes
- Stir constantly during simmering to prevent the cream from burning or sticking to the pan.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the final product.
- Adjust the amount and type of powdered sweetener according to your taste preference and dietary needs.
- The condensed milk will thicken more as it cools; if it becomes too thick, you can gently warm it before use.
- Store in the refrigerator and consume within one week for best freshness and flavor.
