Ingredient substitution options
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Sub in full-fat canned coconut milk at a 1:1 ratio for heavy whipping cream. Note that this substitution will change the final nutrition information of the recipe.

How to make keto condensed milk
To a saucepan over medium heat, add all ingredients.
Bring mixture to a boil before reducing heat to low and simmering until mixture has slightly thickened, about 30 minutes, whisking regularly to prevent clumping.
Remove pan from heat and set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly before pouring mixture into a blender. Pulse mixture in blender at highest speed to remove any clumps.
(Alternatively, you can pour mixture through a muslin cloth over a bowl. If you follow this method, you may need to press mixture through with the back of a spoon.)
Pour mixture into a glass jar and allow to cool at room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer jar to refrigerator to fully thicken before using.
