Sugar-Free Condensed Milk with Allulose and Swerve
A rich, creamy sugar-free alternative to traditional condensed milk made with heavy cream, allulose, and powdered Swerve sweetener.

The xanthan gum helps achieve the proper thick texture, while butter adds extra richness. Takes about 35 minutes to make and stores well in the refrigerator.
