Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk is such a versatile low carb ingredient for keto dessert recipes.
Those dessert recipes that have been slightly out of reach for people who don’t eat sugar. So we’ve created our own low carb version that is a sugar-free sweetened condensed milk that’s also very keto-friendly.
We’ve based it on heavy cream to ensure that the keto condensed milk is low carb while still providing the sweet and creamy taste.
We use this sugar-free condensed milk recipe is the base for our Low Carb Key Lime Pie and our Low Carb Jelly Slice!
This recipe makes approximately 17 fl oz/500 ml of Sugar-Free Keto Condensed Milk.
The serving size will depend on how much the condensed milk is reduced overheat.
We’ve estimated that the full recipe will make 15 serves of 1 tablespoon.

Is Condensed Milk Low-Carb?
No, normally condensed milk contains up to one cup of sugar per two cups of milk so it’s not low-carb or keto-friendly.
But as you can see with our keto condensed milk we don’t use whole milk but heavy cream instead and of course no sugar.
By using heavy cream we boost the fat content along with eliminating the high carb by using a natural sweetener in our case we use Swerve but you could use Natvia.
To make a larger batch of this sugar-free sweetened keto condensed milk recipe, simply adjust the serving amounts in our easy to use recipe card above.
I cannot tolerate stevia products. I wondered if anybody has tried this recipe with Splenda.
Hi Julie,
Most sweeteners are easily substituted for your preferred brand. We prefer to use Nativa as there is no aftertaste.
If you try it, let us know how it goes

How long will this keep in the refrigerator?
Hi Katherine,
It will keep for 1 week in the fridge.
Gerri
This is an amazing recipe. Tastes exactly like Nestlé condensed milk, and no gross after taste. Cannot taste the difference between the original and keto version. So versatile and is an idiot proof recipe! ❤️❤️
That’s great to hear Cheryl, thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Any use for the 3 oz leftover?
Hi Lisa,
You could make yourself some Turkish Coffee 🙂
Gerri
Omg brilliant idea!
How much will this recipe yield (oz wise or serving size I suppose?). What would you recommend as a proper serving size for say a cup of coffee, a tbsp? Please let me know, thanks!
Hi Kaitin
I have updated the recipe for a serving size of 1 tablespoon, and 15 serves. The yield is written in the post above the recipe – 17 fluid ounces.
Gerri
Surely the caloric information on this is incorrect? How many servings are there in one batch?
Hi Christine
We haven’t set serving sizes for the recipe as a serving will depend on how far you reduce the sweetened condensed milk. It is explained further in the post above the recipe.
I will work out the nutritional information for 1tbsp of my batch and update the recipe over the next 2 days.
Gerri
Do you think the time would change if I doubled the recipe
Hi Marguerite,
I think an additional 15-20 minutes cooking time would be suitable.
Gerri
Can this be made with Coconut Cream instead of heavy cream?
Hi Bev,
We haven’t tried it using coconut cream, but I don;t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. Let us know how you go if you try it.
Gerri
Hi, thanks this recipe. I have a green tea ice cream recipe that uses condensed milk (no ice cream machine needed). I would keen keen in converting the recipe into keto. Could I use your recipe to replace the mainstream condensed milk? What would the ratio, should I keep 1:1? Many thanks
Hi Marie,
We use a 1:1 ratio when replacing the sweetened condensed milk in recipes and have had great results. Be aware that sugar helps to keep ice cream soft and by using sweetener your ice cream may end up firmer than usual. Please share a photo with us when you make it!
Gerri
Is. Nativa a powder or liquid. Also found sticks. Which one do I use?
Hi Jeanne,
Natvia is a granulated sweetener, the pink packet is the one that we use.
Is Natvia any different than any other artificial sweeteners?
Hi Leslie, Natvia is a blend of erythritol and stevia which are both natural sweeteners. We don’t use any artificial sweeteners in our recipes.
If you would like to know about the sweeteners we use this article should help: https://www.myketokitchen.com/keto-resources/best-sugar-substitute-for-baking-ketogenic-diets/
Thanks for dropping by.
Matt
Could I substitute stevia or swerve for the natvia?
Hi Eileen,
Yes you can substitute swerve 🙂
Could I use this in making Fudge?
Hi Leigh,
I can not be sure as I haven’t tried it. If you give it a go, I’d love to know how it turns out.
Can I use the Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener in place of the Natvia?
Hi Rebecca,
I haven’t used that sweetener but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work.
Hi Matt,
There is a channel on YouTube called ‘Keto Meals and Recipes,’ wjich is claiming thos recipe as her own invention.
She is receiving praise for this idea. However, a respondent by the name of Gallery Australia, has pulled her up about it and she has refused to respond.
I, like Gallery Australia, believe you should be aware of this as she is getting recognition for a product you created far earlier than her product which is dated June 19, 2019.
Please do something about this as she has ripped you off and is getting praised for being a thief!
This is YOUR intellectual property and you should be more protective of it.
On a brighter note, due to Gallery Australis, I have found you blog and I am loving it so far.
Huge thanks for your creativity.
Hi Patricia,
We appreciate you letting us know. Unfortunately, it happens a lot!
Haven’t tried this yet but I have a pumpkin pie recipe that uses condensed milk instead of evaporated. Can’t wait to try!
I made this recipe today and really liked it.
For my sweeteners I used mostly (health garden brand) xylitol and the remaining boscha sweet. I followed the recipe instructions and when the condensed milk have coiled down I added 1/4 tsp of xanthum gum to thicken it a bit more.
Perfect for my coffee
I wonder how this would be without the sweetener. I’ve gotten quite used to the natural sweetness of cream, and don’t usually add sweetener now to my whipped cream. By cooking it down and condensing it, do you think it might be sweet enough on it’s own?
Hi Judi,
I’m not sure that the cream would “condense” the same without adding sweetener. If you want to experiment, I’d love to know how it turns out!
Thanks for this. We’ve been making homemade ice cream for kids to indulge during this pandemic lockdown even though myself can’t enjoy with them as I’m on keto, now I have a way for all of us to enjoy together! Kudos!!
Hi Gerri,
Do you know if reducing the heavy cream helps to remove the lactose? I am lactose intolerant but would love to try this.
Thanks,
Kandance
Hi Kandance,
I honestly have no idea, you’d have to find a food scientist to answer that question. You could try swapping in coconut cream instead, but I’m not sure if it would come out like the dairy version. Sorry, I can’t be of much help!
Hi Gerri,
Can one use coconut cream instead of dairy cream? I can’t eat dairy.
Michelle
You sure can!
has anyone tried this with coffee? If so how was it? Does it melt in hot liquids.
Hi Shelita,
We have! It does melt nicely into coffee and makes a very tasty drink!
How long will this keep refrigerated? Does it freeze well?
Hi Sandra,
I have kept it in the fridge for up to 1 week, but it’s best to use before the expiry date on your cream. I’m not sure that it would freeze well, as cream has a tendency to spilt when defrosting. Next time I make some I will freeze some to test!
