Ingredients for Low Carb Milk Lcfriends

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Instant Milk
  • Cold Water
  • Salt
  • Sugar

How to Make Low Carb Milk Lcfriends

  1. In a blender, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon of powdered milk (or more for extra creaminess), and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. Blend until thoroughly combined. If using powdered milk, blend for an extra 10-15 seconds to ensure it is fully dissolved.
  3. Gently stir in 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a gummy texture.
  4. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow flavors to meld and the consistency to thicken.
  5. Enjoy your delicious low-carb milk! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week and a half.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
