Recipe #3 - Sugar-Free Crock Pot Sweetened Condensed Milk
Author: 
Serves: 1⅓ cup
 
This was thinner than sugar-filled, store-bought sweetened condensed milk (though it does thicken in the refrigerator more). I’ve toyed with the idea of sprinkling a ½ teaspoon gluccomannan over it and whisking quickly and/or loosening a half a bar of cream cheese (or more) in microwave or stove top and whisking it into the mixture. Note: 1⅓ cup equals 14 ounce can of “Eagle Brand.”
Ingredients
  • 3 cups milk (almond, coconut, half and half, etc.—I use half almond and half ½ and ½)
  • 1 cup Pyure* (or Gentle Sweet or Homemade Pyure, or other stevia-blend)*Or use 2 cups of cup-for-cup sugar sub
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract (not imitation)
Instructions
  1. Pour milk and sweetener into crock pot.
  2. Cook on high for one hour covered.
  3. Reduce to medium with the lid half on and half off for 6 to 8 hours, depending on how hot your medium is.
  4. Remove from crock base and stir in butter and vanilla.
  5. When cool enough, pour into jar and refrigerate (or use).
Notes
Once I left this on overnight (lid half on/half off) for about twelve total hours. It was becoming a caramel sauce without putting it in a jar and in a crock pot filled with water (see last recipe in this section). It was thicker than when I used the “crock pot sweetened condensed caramel sauce” recipe at the end of this section. I say that to say that this is definitely something I’m going to be toying with as I don’t like making sauces on the stove top. Not sure what would have happened if I had let it continue on….
