INGREDIENTS for Keto Condensed Milk
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream — Heavy cream is the base of any sugar free condensed milk. Heavy cream is low-carb and low sugar. Heavy cream is traditionally found in a lot of coffee creamers which is why sweetened condensed milk goes great in coffee.
- ½ Cup Monk Fruit Sweetener — Monk fruit sweetener can be found at most grocery or whole food stores. It’s a low-carb granulated sweetener and can be substituted for white sugar. If you do choose to substitute for white sugar, do note that this recipe will no longer be keto.
