Sugar-Free Condensed Milk (3 Ingredients!)
Easy • Delicious • Economical • Health-Conscious
Introduction
Condensed milk is a well-loved ingredient in countless desserts, but traditional versions are high in sugar and calories. This sugar-free condensed milk offers all the creamy richness you crave—without the guilt. Made from just three simple ingredients, it’s quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for healthy desserts, coffee drinks, and baking.
Ingredients & Quantities
1 cup nonfat powdered milk
2 tablespoons sweetener
Stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, or your preferred sugar-free option
½ cup hot water (just below boiling)
Instructions
1. Combine Ingredients:
In a blender or bowl, add the powdered milk and sweetener.
2. Add Hot Water:
Pour in the hot water gradually.
3. Blend or Whisk:
Blend for 30–40 seconds until completely smooth and thick.
If mixing by hand, whisk vigorously until creamy.
4. Cool and Thicken:
Transfer to a jar and let it cool. It will thicken as it rests (10–15 minutes).
5. Store:
Refrigerate for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
Origin
Condensed milk originated in the 19th century as a preserved milk product that wouldn’t spoil during transport. Sugar-free variations emerged much later as part of modern dietary trends and health-conscious lifestyles.
Cultural Significance
Condensed milk plays an important role in desserts worldwide—from Latin American sweets and Brazilian brigadeiros to Asian milk teas and European pastries. This sugar-free version helps preserve those traditional flavors while supporting healthier eating habits.
Description
This homemade sugar-free condensed milk is velvety, thick, slightly sweet, and wonderfully creamy. It behaves similarly to store-bought condensed milk, making it perfect for baking, blending, drizzling, or stirring into beverages.
Optional Additions
Enhance the flavor with:
½ tsp vanilla extract (classic sweetness)
1 tsp butter (for richer texture)
Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)
Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg (for a warm twist)
Tips for Success
Use very hot water so the powdered milk dissolves smoothly.
For extra thickness, add 1–2 tablespoons more powdered milk.
For more sweetness, adjust the sweetener gradually—some sweeteners are stronger than others.
Chill before using for the traditional condensed milk consistency.
