Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk

Combine all of the ingredients over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent scalding.

The mixture will reduce by about half, and it will become thick and gooey. This process may take 25 or 30 minutes.

Once the mixture has reduced and thickened, allow it to cool completely.

How to Use it

This sweetened condensed milk is what binds these coconut, and almond, cookies together, but there are other uses for this delicious sweet concoction! You can add it to your morning coffee for a rich and creamy treat, or I like to have some drizzled over fresh berries for dessert!

Preheat the oven to 325° and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Combine the coconut, almonds, chocolate chips, and cooled condensed milk in a mixing bowl.

Distribute the mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups, and press each one down with the back of a spoon.

Bake 15 mins or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes, before placing them in the freezer until they firm up.
