Coconut milk and cream are fine for the dairy, but I have no idea about the lecithin as I have never worked with it. You are awesome, Carolyn! This is one of my favorite childhood treats…and I try to avoid them like the plague due to wanting my pants to zip up! But here you go making a low carb version…I can hear the applause! As always, looks scrumptious! I make a condensed milk with coconut milk for my Magic Coconut Bars http: Carolyn, you are a total genius. I am in awe right now. You just blow my mind on a daily basis. Thank you so much for this! When I was growing up in Canada, we called them Hello Dollies too!
These look sensational, will make my own condensed milk tonight. Is the choc amount 3. Did you mean the latter? I had tried the other recipe from Simply… with the coconut milk and we did not like that. Looking forward to this version next week. It will likely be appealing to us since we do not have to be dairy free and I have never liked coconut milk.
The coconut milk and coconut adds on the carbs too. I like coconut milk well enough, but when it comes to sweetened condensed milk, I want the real thing! I have not tried any of your recipes until this one… but I have a question… Why have you not corrected the recipe? I printed the Magic Cookie Bar recipe out and when I went to the kitchen to begin making these I found myself scratching my head when I read the amounts.
They seemed off, so I pulled up your webpage and started reading these comments, only to find that the amounts are wrong in the recipe. Will you be correcting the recipe so it appears correctly on this page and on the printed page? This would be helpful to your readers. But not in the recipe. But several other people have made these bars without any problems whatsoever. The recipe is correct.
Actually…my comment should have said use. The condensed milk cooled and thickened up like caramel custard, without xanthan gum! No problems incorporating the butter, it melted and blended straight in. What about a berry brulee recipe using your magic milk? It is spring here in Australia, berry season is around the corner. Thanks for the clarification re quantities. No oat flour here, so used oat bran instead, as we have no gluten issues. What a yum combo, might try oat bran in other recipes.
I have some non-chocolate ideas for this milk, so stay tuned. May take me a while, though….
I am not sure how well that will mix into the condensed milk but give a go and see! One day, when we meet in person, can you sort of kind of put these in your bag and share them with me?! Yeah, that would be perfect. How frequent should I? Scrape bottom or no?
Yup, you really have to boil it down. I stirred every 10 minutes or so set my kitchen timer. And I scraped the bottom but not the sides. This part puzzles me. Seems to be that the bits on the bottom would be more problematic than bits on the sides. These bars look fantastic and I love that you took the time to make your own low carb sweetened condensed milk! Thanks for continuing to inspire me with your creations…. You are a genius.
I made these bars yesterday and they lived up to my very high expectations! They are SO good. I mean, like, I-atebars-inhours yesterday, good. I would have eaten more, but I restrained myself. Thanks for doing what you do- it works! My 4 year old son was diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetic, and as having Celiac Disease, in one fell swoop last month. It has been wholly overwhelming to integrate the dietary changes necessary to keep him healthy, and trying to make him happy in the process has been incredibly difficult. I am SO thankful I was led to your blog. I have found so many GF bloggers and cookbooks have very little in the way of labeling the carbohydrate count in their recipes, which makes it a huuuuge pain in the ass for me.
I am already beating my head trying to learn to be organized, to plan meals, to count every bite- your blog is such a wonderful resource for me.
I am simply recounting and sharing my own experiences on this blog. Faust, Thiessen, and others participated in selecting voice actors, and Hasbro gave final approval. Life is really about moving on. My daughter was complaint Shawn was sleeping in her bed. The film is directed by series supervising director Jayson Thiessen and written by showrunner Meghan McCarthy , and is financed by Hasbro Studios ' film subdivision, Allspark Pictures. And, as if by way of illustration, there came a rattling at the door, and a squeaking little voice could be faintly heard. The World's Biggest Tea Party
Oh you poor things, you and your son. What a month it must have been for you. Have you heard of A Sweet Life Diabetes magazine? They are a wonderful online resource for diabetes. In terms of planning, the best thing I can say it to make a whole lot of low carb, gluten-free muffins and have them in the freezer, on hand for a quick snack.
Good luck to you both! Is there any chance I could use 2 cups of regular whipping cream instead of the milk and heavy cream? You could do one of two things. It would all work very well! Any idea why the sweetened milk formed a crust on the top? Coming back to say these were divine! Magic bars are one of my all time favorite goodies, and to be able to make them carb friendly? And the sweetened condensed milk came out good, too! Genius, I say, genius! This was my Christmas staple.
I could eat a whole pan. Very close to the original as well. I have a Christmas favorite back…thank you. You can replace the oat flour with a little coconut flour about half the amount of oat flour and the whole milk with more cream if you like. I used coconut milk instead of whole milk and it came out great! The first time I used it up to make the magic cookie bars.
I may use more butter in the crust as it was still a little crumbly for my taste. The next batch is in the fridge until I decide on flan or more magic cookie bars. So I think the answer is no, but would your sweetened condensed milk carmelise? Hi there … a quick question. Can the condensed milk recipe be easily doubled? Do you know how long it would have to simmer? BTW, I made your truffles must have been that Christmas magic because they just vanished!
I just saw your fudge post and would like to try that too and would like to have some extra condensed milk on hand. Let me know how it turns out! Hi, I made a quadruple recipe today and only needed about 25 extra minutes, it would vary from stove to stove I think, but it turned out great and made it more worthwhile to make a lot as it is quite time consuming and needs regular attention. I now have a jar of plain sweetened condensed milk and a jar of dulce de leche in my fridge took half of it and continued on to make DDL. So I made this to use for the magic cookie bars.
I thought I would be clever and use all cream, no whole milk. The cream cooked down too quickly—in about half the time—and when I added the xanthan gum, the mixture curdled and clumped up. I could whisk it smooth, but it started to leak oil and clump worse. When it cooled, it was a little grainy and dark: The second time, I used the full amount of whole milk, and the recipe worked perfectly as written. The moral is, trust the expert who wrote the recipe. Very good to know. I actually just updated the recipe to say not to use all cream.
Thanks for trying it out! Not at all, not at all! Thanks for replying so quickly, by the way. It took three hours and two out of four kids crying, but I have some pretty tasty stuff to make up for it. So you could probably use cream and water. But I might be wrong too. I just tried making this sweetened condensed milk. Made a double batch 2 c. Frustrated, to say the least.
Wow, that is very strange. Any liquid should reduce when simmered like that. Is it any thicker? Do you have xanthan gum? You could just see if you could add that and if it thickens up enough. Your site has been a great resource uplift for my sometimes low carb boredom blues. Two questions for the experts here though: Hmmm, not sure about the coconut but yes, probably not a great brand or bag of it! These can be stored on your counter for 2 or 3 days. Figured it out Carolyn! I condensed the milk too far. It was too thick to saturate the coconut flakes.
Delicious all the same but will be better next time. Hi Carolyn, I made the sweetened condensed milk and it tasted incredible, but after cooling to room temperature it got extremely thick, more like icing, and the Swerve crystallized again. I had the head too low for the first 90 minutes so turned it up a bit and it thickened up beautifully after another 20 minutes.
Maybe it was cooked a fraction too long? Anything here that you think would crystallize the Swerve? Tastes great, but would like to get it right, I love sweetened condensed milk! Also the combination of the cream and water had to play a role in changing the consistency. The recipe is best when the ratio of cream and milk are right. And perhaps you should skip xanthan next time, if your butter is incorporating properly. Hi Carolyn, I made this again today, kept to your recipe and it worked out great! I made a quadruple batch as I have big plans involving dulce de leche pecan ice cream once I get an ice cream maker, hopefully tomorrow!
And eating it straight out of the pot of course! I ended up with slightly more than 4 cups but I like the consistency. So thanks again, another great recipe!!! The filling tastes wonderful though, not too sweet.
I had seen the Magic Shop from afar several times; I had passed it once or twice, and called, so a neat card asserted, “Buy One and Astonish Your Friends.”. Friends performing dream magic on us, implies a good support system from the .. I had a dream for three days now and it end the same as www.farmersmarketmusic.com dream.
I whipped the cream cheese and whipping cream for quite a while, until it was really fluffy, before adding the condensed milk and whipping again. I may have to try your variation so we can do away with the yucky sugar free pudding powder. Maybe for Canada Day! And I just wanted to make some delicious salted pecan ice cream and will have to try it when I have time to make the other two recipes involved grin.
Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing. I had some whipping cream on the last day of best before, and no time to actually stir the mixture while it reduced, so I made the recipe in the microwave so I could let it rip without tending to it. I then followed the instructions, but felt that the condensed milk was not sweet enough, and added some liquid sucralose drops in addition to the stevia drops, mixed it all thoroughly, and put it in the fridge.
By this morning, it had thickened to the point of being firm enough to slice…not what was intended certainly, but it is like REALLY delicious fudge. I am going to make the recipe as written when I can get to the store to buy more cream, but in the meantime we will enjoy eating this by the spoon, and loving every bite!
I do wonder if cooking in the microwave caused the mixture to caramelize? If the sweetened condensed milk had turned out, I was going to use half of it to make dulche de leche, but it seemed that what I got looked like that without baking in a water bath. Actually, I hear a lot of people actually make dulce de leche in the microwave, and quite honestly, what you did sounds delicious so now I am wondering if I should try it! He has been testing after eating it without any spike, and is amazed that something that tastes exactly like fudge can be essentially guilt free.
I am so glad! I have made the Magic Cookie Bars with your condensed milk, and they were fantastic. Thanks so much for your awesome recipes! Even the non low carbers at our 4th of July celebration loved it! I keep meaning to make key lime pie…glad to know the condensed milk works for it!
I think you could try it, but keep in mind that Swerve has some fiber in it, so using Splenda may change the consistency. I made the sweetened condensed milk… Then the magic cookie. Thanks for great recipes!!
Do a little research, maybe buy a bag and play with it a bit. Feel free to email me if you want to chat about the stuff. Do I substitute it for sugar, or simply add it to the mix? I just made both of these! I am having so much fun with your site. Thank you for the recipes.
I used all cream and left out the xanthan gum, and it turned out perfect! I made the bars with half of the milk and they are amazing. Have you tried freezing the milk yet? Have you ever used stevia glycerite? I have a bottle of it, and am not entirely sure how to use it, or what a conversion factor is. Thanks so much for low carb SCM. Use spoonfuls per cup of hot tea. I made this yesterday for your ice cream recipe, but right at the end I realised that the bits on the sides were FUDGE!
Yes I have made fudge with this condensed milk. Thank you so much! I just discovered this recipe over the past couple of days and really enjoyed making it yesterday. We do not have Swerve here in France — and it is difficult to obtain, so I used a little coconut sugar plus stevia powder. My question is about the quantities for the base. Mine came out totally crumbly, so that it did not hold together even a little bit! What could have gone wrong. After all the debate about the figures, the typeface, etc, could you please confirm the right amounts for the crust?
What kind of almond flour did you use? I know that the amounts in the recipe are correct because so many other readers have made this. That will be it! I cannot seem to buy almond flour here in France. Claire, you can get Almond flour from this source in the UK http: Aside from this have you tried Amazon France, certainly amazon UK has lots of brands of almond flour and I am sure Amazon in France would too.
Real Food source have different types they also have a defatted micro fine almond flour so you need to know which one to use, but they are very good at giving advice. Well I used the recommended Honeyville almond flour and still had to add another 2 tablespoons of butter to get the crust to hold together.
I just made these. Waiting for them to cool to be able to try. Everything went perfect up to this point with the recipe and they look fantastic! Just one question…how to store? In the fridge or on the counter? Thank you in advance! I just made the condensed milk, exactly as the recipe said: Its amazing and taste so great! Not to mention a low carb Thai Tea! Im doing now the dulce the leche…. I put the milk into the fridge as I plan to make your ice cream tomorrow. So its now chilled, when I tasted it, it seems to have recrystallised, it has that crunchiness.
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Yes, plain erythritol tends to recrystallize. I would actually reheat it, very gently and when you add the xanthan gum into the ice cream, it may help inhibit the recrystallization. I made this tonight. It did reduce to about 9oz.
It sounds like you hit the right point and now if you let it cool, it will thicken up. You can also add a little more xanthan if it end up too thin. I am glad it takes so long to make, as I would probably sit down with a spoon and devour an entire batch. This stuff is great. Thank you, I think. Coconut milk might work better than soy.
The recipe calls for 1. Reducing only took 45 minutes and I probably could have cut that down by at least 10 minutes. They are my pre-wash for dishes. I got excited when I saw your successful attempt in making low carb sweetened condensed milk. May I ask if erythritol is the key sweetener to make this? Will it work if I use pure stevia powder? I really want to make this and the ice cream.
So give it a go with stevia…maybe make a half batch to test it out? Yes, I think I will do that. Try it out first with a small batch and see if it works. I am sooo excited about finding your recipe for a low carb sweetened condensed milk! How cool is that? And the fact that most have spent countless hours as you obviously did experimenting and perfecting a comparable product that we can use as a substitution whether for convenience or dietary reasons is just awesome!
Then I was sent to a magical school where the friends that betrayed me irl where and they told me that a great wizard was awaiting me at the top of the tower. I definitely think the power already exists within you. You just need to go after that dirty magician and get rid of him once and for all. It is your dream after all, not his. The hardest part is believing in yourself but you will, and end his terrible reign. I had a dream I was in an island where a monk was doing an incantation to a girl and the girl was behaving in an abnormal way. Hi,just call me Jana. Earlier at dawn,I had a dream about me making magic but it is not the type of magic that comes from me.
At those times,I was holding an old big dark brown book,it looks creepy. In my dream,we were chased by two persons and they were wearing black.. And I was opening the book and I chant the spells that were written on the book. And after I chant the spell,I point the direction of the two guys that chasing us then they vanished after I hit them with the unfamiliar white power that came from the spell that I chanted..
Ahm,I am seeking for a meaning of my dream with this.
Hopefully,somebody can advice me about this. Thank you for reading.. I hope I can find a meaning. I was in a limo and there were 2 magicians or something like that. Then I was having some kind of flashback where a magician died cuz of thinking about a safe zone. For some reason I remember this dream pretty well. Please tell me what is the meaning of all this.
I was living at this wonderful spiritual house. Very modern on a sloped wooded property. The front is one story and the front looks like a train station where many people can be dropped off or picked up. Big focus on this wonderful kitchen. I was having a huge party. Everyone was very happy and spiritual. A spirit was lifting me up and moving me about in the kitchen. As I wondered around checking with the guests. I told them they are welcome to come over anytime.
It seemed that people were connecting with their internal peace and they loved it. The people were from all areas of my life. I finally told her to leave. I knew if I told her to she had to comply. The party was winding down. My daughter was complaint Shawn was sleeping in her bed.
It was a great party and happiness that Wanda was gone was very prevalent. Can you help interpret? Can some explain my dream. I dream that i cast an spell and i have the full moon power in my hands. What does it mean? I had a dream that all the sudden I was in my backyard. There is met three other wizards. One was in animal for and I disarmed him. With his wand I disarmed the other two with torture curses. After gaining all of their wands I used the strongest wand to kill them all. After they were dead a guy appeared.
I walked him to the edge of the yard over looking the woods. Realizing how much power i had gained, I told him that I could do anything, I could show him anything.
So I put an island before his eyes, then Mt. Then my wand began to miss understand my commands — like okay Google lol — and the scene began to fad back into the woods it was originally. Before it all played out, I woke up. I never remember my dreams. What does this mean. I have a dream of the ability to explode things. We went into one of the room in the hotel and hid there. After a few moments we went out and went to the safe zone somewhere not far from the room where we hid. We passed by a large swimming pool it was an open air space the went into a small hallway.
It was just an empty space and just a group of common people gathering there. Just then my friends and I heard a loud noise coming from the sky and decided to stick with them. Just then, thousands roughly around 12inches of robots? One of my friend then lifted up her hand and a prison bar in purple color appears. My other friends starts defending too. I then lifted up my hand directly at the robots and the robots starts to explodes.
I have been thinking about the meaning behind this dreams for so long. Being able to manipulate power is not something that I can see in real life moreover for me to manipulate it myself. Please tell me about it. I had a weird dream I gained powers and started using them for what I thought was good. I used my power for greed and murder and ruining lives.
We got stuck somehow in the woods and he caught up. I turned around and just before he grabbed me, I raised my hands like I was going to shield myself from him, but white magic came out of my hands instead and shot towards him and froze him. Ive had two different dreams one with ancient runes and the other was a language that looks old and evil what do these dreams mean?
When I started going to school I lost all of that…. I had another dream where a row of what looked like metallic gargoyle looking cupids where flying around. I fly up infront of my house and they turned and saw me. They started screaming and coming straight for me as if they would hv possessed me but i manifested power just using my mind and steering right into his eyes and he missed me and flew off.
I was glad but felt as if I somewhat failed as I wanted to obliterate them with my mind lol anyways onto last nights dream.. It was a book of great sorcery and there was a symbol on it that signified the type of magic. The book was black and so was the symbol but the thing is it wasnt bad magic.. Well if anyone can help me with these dreams please do so thanks. I use to read dream books but can sometimes decifer without one.. The male figure standing over you with the sword can signify a male figure in your life who possesses higher authority then you.
He maybe someone you feel very uncomfortable around as thats what the cuts may suggest, he maybe a boss, father or jealous bf etc. Your friend may know what your going through and it seems she wants to support you and I think she wants you to believe in yourself as you ultimately have the inner strength to rise up with a higher force that is greater then the man with the sword.
OR is this happening to your friend and your the one standing in the way trying to protect her. However I suggest getting as far away from that male figure as possible.. I had a dream for three days now and it end the same as well. I had a dream where i was on a different planet than earth. Someone taught me how to summon my own magical powers or ability. I was then forced to give that power to a woman who had no ability.
