Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Add powdered milk to a medium pot over medium heat. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until browned and smells like caramel. Stir frequently, or it will stick and burn.
- Remove from the heat, and add in the sugar free syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously to break up the milk powder clumps.
- Strain into a mason jar to remove any remaining clumps of milk powder. Let it cool uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes before covering with a lid and transferring to the fridge.
Notes
- This recipe is designed to make 14 oz (396 g) of condensed milk, enough to exactly substitute a standard size 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk.
- You can also use honey or maple syrup in place of sugar free syrup, but this will add a signifcant amount of sugar and calories.
- Compared to a standard can of storebought sweetened condensed milk (2 tbsp, 39 g), the homemade version with sugar free syrup contains significantly fewer calories and fat, with no added sugar.
