Keto Condensed Milk! Danger, Danger! (another recipie PSA)


(Tom) #21

It’s a substance so great, it can only be used for good or evil. :smile:


(Mediterranean Magic! Show me yer...) #22

Mix with cocount shreds. Roll into sticky balls. Freeze. Coat with dark chocolate. Mmmm. Balls.


(Arlene) #23

Is there a reason you can’t just use the juice from a lime?


(Eric Bryant) #24

So Swerve has 4g of carbs, but they are all from Erythritol, so they don’t count and don’t cause any GI response…correct?


(Tom) #25

That’s the idea. I tolerate it well, but some people don’t. I’d definitely try it in something less than a full batch of this stuff to see how you do.


(Tom) #26

If they’re key limes, probably not. Apparently there’s some sort of flavor difference with regular limes.

Dude! you have no idea!
This is the last thing i imagined i would find. im such a fool.

I shall have to take this to the test kitchen and begin to reconstruct and keto mod my flan recipe.

Thank you!!


(Tom) #28

Glad to spread the keto-crack goodness!


#29

I want to hear about that flan…


(George Hernandez) #30

Not sure when i will be able to get to this but i will post when i do.
See here’s the thing. I have been in a struggle with this flan. I make the most killer flan ever. Hands down, i know it’s the best around. I worked on my recipe and technique for a long time. the smallest details add up to phenomenal results.

The problem comes from the fact that it is exactly the ingredients that i(we) need to avoid. I have stopped making it for awhile because it is such a trigger for me. I can’t get enough of this when its around. I usually make large batches as i have sold them to caterers and restaurants.

This will be an exciting and testing experiment that i am looking forward to.

I look forward to reading, whenever you’re ready… :slight_smile:

OMG thank you!!! I haven’t have Vietnamese Condensed coffee for a long time, this will be great!

this sounds delicious. stupid question … but what do I do with it once cooked (I mean other than eat it out of the pot with a spoon :grin:) … do you use it other recipes, in pies, tarts, cakes?


(George Hernandez) #34

Great idea! 2 pts for you.


(Tom) #35

I used it in a key lime pie recipe. Turned out pretty decent.


(Jennifer) #36

So I made the condensed milk so I could make her almond joy cookies.

And had enough to make a batch of fudge too. :flushed:

I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Review for the cookies - folks in the comments were saying that they spread out too much, so I added 2 tsp of coconut floor and they held together fine. Made them smallish - got 30 out of the batch. Not really sweet, maybe a bit dry (cut back to 1tsp coconut flour?) which allows you to taste the coconut, almonds, and chocolate. I like them.

Review for the fudge - if you like Lily’s chocolate, you will like this. It has a good fudgy consistency and tastes just like Lily’s dark chocolate. YUM!

I love magic cookie bars using keto condensed milk…


#38

This was a great way to use up some cream that was about to go off (I had about 2.5 cups, so I reduced the butter and Swerve proportionally). Boiling it for so long kills off most of the bacteria and sort of resets the spoilage clock. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but I’m sure it won’t go to waste now.


#39

Okay, I might have gone a little long on the boiling. My condensed milk set up into fudge upon cooling. This isn’t a problem (as you can see from the picture), but if I had known it was going to do that (it was mentioned on the website, but I still couldn’t imagine), I would have added flavorings and add-ins while it was still liquid. I could probably melt it, but I suspect it will be eaten before I get around to it. Next time, I could see adding cocoa butter (in place of regular butter), vanilla, and macadamia nuts. Or maybe toasted pecans and coconut.

On the other hand, let this be a warning: If you have recipe aspirations that require the end product to be liquid after refrigeration, don’t reduce it too much!

what did you use for the crust of your keto lime pie?
