Sugar Free Homemade Condensed Milk Recipe
Making condensed milk from scratch for our sugar free desserts requires dedication and some time on our hands but doesn’t require any particular skill.
Let’s get the basics straight first. In the US we can buy condensed milk and evaporated milk off the shelf pretty easily. Both are essentially just concentrated Milks that’s 60% of its water content
has been evaporated. The only difference between the two is that condensed milk is sweetened with sugar while evaporated milk is just plain concentrated milk.
In recipes we can use them interchangeably without any problems as their characteristics are the same except that one is sweeter than the other.
So basically when we are making sugar free condensed milk we are really talking about making evaporated milk. Surely we can whack in a couple of spoons of sweeteners if we fancy. Actually, as we are preparing this condensed milk for desserts we added some agave and vanilla in the milk. It’s totally optional but it gives the milk a bit of extra flavor. We may swap that to a different sweetener if we plan for using it in desserts for diabetics.
Ingredients:
- 4 cup / 1000ml Milk (whole)
- 6 teaspoon Agave (optional)
- Vanilla extract or a vanilla stick (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
How to make it:
- Measure milk, pour it into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat it.
- Stir it until it starts to boil. Reduce heat to low.
- Pour in the agave syrup.
- Put in vanilla extract too.
- Now leave saucepan with the milk in low heat for about an hour, stir occasionally. The purpose is to reduce the amount of the milk in half.
- When it’s reduced and the amount is about 2 cup / 500ml, turn off the heat and leave in to cool a little bit before blend it together with the butter.
- Whisk butter in. Mix until smooth.
