What is sweetened condensed milk?
Condensed milk is often used in baking such as pies, cheesecakes, fudge, and ice cream. It can also be used for something as simple as a fruit dip or even as a sweetener for your coffee.
Manufacturers take out about 60% of the water from the milk to “condense” it down. After they “condense” the milk, they add about 40% sugar to fill the void from the water. I’m sure you’re asking yourself why the manufacturers did this. Well, they experimented and added sugar to the condensed milk and found out that the shelf life held longer, plus transporting the milk was easier due to not having to store it in cooler temperatures.
Make your own keto sweetened condensed milk!
Standard canned condensed milk contains 90 calories, 15 carbs, and 15 grams of sugar PER SERVING. This keto recipe has 0 Net Carbs and zero added sugar! It’s a win-win for all of your holiday baking needs!
Hip Tips:
- I like to use Mason Jars like these for jams and sauces.
- Why use canned coconut milk in place of unsweetened almond milk? Coconut milk is thicker, so it doesn’t have to boil as long to thicken. It’s also got a better flavor for this recipe.
- Store this recipe in the fridge for one week.
- Got leftover keto sweetened condensed milk? Add it to your coffee or tea! Yum!

What all can I make with this?
Hi Christel! Our suggestions include pies, cheesecakes, fudge, ice cream or the fruit dip recipe listed through the link above. You can also use it as a sweetener for your coffee. Hope this helps!
Thank you! I made some today and used it to make the fudge recipe.
Oh yum! You’re so welcome! 😋💕
Could you use regular swerve or another brand granular sugar replacement sweetener? Does it have to be confectioners?
Hi there,
Could you post a link to the type of coconut milk you use? Thanks!!!
She used this for it here!
If using in a recipe, does it measure the same as regular sweetened condensed milk? I’d like to make a crustless keto version of my favorite pie.
Yes! It will measure the same for you!
Can this be used right away in the keto fudge recipe or does it need to be cooled first?
Hi there! We did make this recipe the day before using it. Also, we added it at room temperature. If making this the same day, be sure it has cooled a bit. Hoping that helps!
Can I substitute allulose for the swerve?
You can definitely try as they are both great keto sugar alternatives!
Can this be made in the instant pot?
Hi Penny! That wouldn’t work as you need to whisk occasionally to avoid scorching.
Do you use the liquid in the can of coconut milk as well as the solid part? Or just the solid part?
Yes! You will use the entire can. The solid will liquefy once heated. Hope this helps!
