How to Make No Sugar Added Sweetened Condensed Milk

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute – adjust to your sweetness preference), 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder (generic brands recommended), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, continuing to stir frequently to prevent scorching. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to the consistency of sweetened condensed milk. (Note that it will thicken considerably as it cools.)
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently if needed, adding a tablespoon of boiling water to adjust consistency.
