Recipe #3 - Sugar-Free Crock Pot Sweetened Condensed Milk
Author: Donna Reish
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
Reduce to medium with the lid half on and half off for 6 to 8 hours, depending on how hot your medium is.
Remove from crock base and stir in butter and vanilla.
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….
