Equipment
- sauce pan
- Wooden spoon
- measuring cup
Ingredients
- 1 can fat free evaporated milk, Carnation
- 1⅓ c sweetener equivalent to sugar, see note
- ¼ c water
- 1½ tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Place the water and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Mix them together to form a slurry. Set it aside but have it handy near your cook top.
- Open the can of evaporated fat free milk and empty it into a sauce pan.
- Measure out the amount of sweetener that is equivalent to 1⅓ c of sugar. I have made this recipe with Splenda (1:1) and also with Truvia stevia with erythritol (LESS than 1:1). Both sweeteners worked equally well. See notes down below for additional info.
- Add the sweetener to the evaporated milk and mix it in. Place the sauce pan on a cook top on medium heat. Stir it constantly as you heat it up. When it starts to boil, lower the heat to a temperature that will maintain the boiling. Continue to constantly stir and let the mixture boil for 5 min.
- Give the cornstarch slurry another stir and add it to the milk/sweetener mix as you are stirring. Continue to stir the mixture and boil it for an additional 2min.
- Remove the sauce pan from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a storage container. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and press it down onto the surface of the condensed milk mixture to keep a film from forming. Let it cool at room temperature for 45 - 60 min and then place it in the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to use it in a recipe.
Notes
This recipe has been successful when made with Splenda (1:1 sugar ratio) and Truvia stevia/erythritol spoonable (LESS than 1:1 sugar ratio). It should work with Monk fruit mixed with erythritol or allulose.
