Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

I’m sold on the So Delicious brand of Unsweetened Coconut Milk. I like to drink it with a little stevia glycerite and vanilla extract mixed in. Since coconut milk is so low in carbs, I’d like to use it more in recipes that call for milk. I came up with a low carb substitute for sweetened condensed milk by simmering regular coconut milk to remove some of the water. To thicken it up, I added a stevia sweetened vanilla whey protein powder (Designer Whey brand) along with a little xanthan gum. The result is very similar to the high carb stuff in the can.

Simmering Coconut Milk

A 14 ounce can of regular sweetened condensed milk contains a whopping 220 grams of carbohydrates, all of which are sugar. My low carb version has about 7 grams. I will be experimenting with this low carb substitute in various recipes. I’m hoping to figure out how to use it as the base for a low carb fudge recipe. I’ve already tried it in a low carb fix for white chocolate recipe which I will post soon. The result was fantastic!
