Condensed milk is a pantry staple for many dessert lovers, but its high sugar content can be a challenge for those who need to reduce their sugar intake. Whether you’re on a low-sugar, keto, or diabetic-friendly diet, or simply want to avoid refined sugar, this homemade sugar-free condensed milk recipe provides a delicious alternative that’s easy to make and incredibly versatile. The creamy texture and sweet flavor will work beautifully in a variety of recipes, allowing you to indulge in your favorite treats without any of the guilt.

This sugar-free version of condensed milk is perfect for all kinds of dessert preparations.

Plus, it’s customizable to suit your specific dietary needs, so you can adjust the sweetness with your preferred sugar-free sweetener. No more worrying about added sugars – just pure, creamy goodness!

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat powdered milk
  Nonfat powdered milk is the base of this recipe, providing the same texture and consistency as traditional condensed milk without the fat content. It also helps to keep this recipe lower in calories, which is ideal for those looking for a lighter option.
• 2 tablespoons sweetener (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit)
  This is where you can personalize the recipe to your taste. Choose a sugar-free sweetener like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit to get the sweetness without the sugar. If you prefer a sweeter condensed milk, feel free to adjust the quantity to suit your preference.
• 1/2 cup hot water
  Hot water helps dissolve the powdered milk and the sweetener, making it easier to blend everything into a smooth, creamy consistency. It ensures that the mixture is well-combined and ready to chill in the next step.
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  Adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the mixture gives the condensed milk its rich, smooth texture. It also adds a subtle, deliciously creamy flavor that mimics traditional condensed milk.

A traditional Indian frozen dessert, Kulfi is dense, creamy, and flavored with cardamom, saffron, and pistachios. It’s a delightful treat perfect for a hot day or as a special dessert!

Ingredients:
2 cups full-fat milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch of saffron strands (optional, but recommended for authentic flavor)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional for added crunch)
1 tablespoon rose water or kewra essence (optional)
Instructions:
 Prepare the Milk Mixture:

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the full-fat milk over medium heat.
Stir frequently and let it simmer until the milk reduces by about one-third. This may take 15-20 minutes.
 Add Cream and Sweeteners:

Once the milk is reduced, add the heavy cream and condensed milk.
Stir well to combine and cook for another 10-15 minutes on low heat until the mixture thickens further.
Add the sugar and mix until it’s completely dissolved.
 Flavor the Kulfi:

Add the ground cardamom and saffron strands (if using) to the mixture.
Stir in the rose water or kewra essence, if using, for an aromatic touch.
Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
 Cool the Mixture:

Remove the pan from heat and let the kulfi base cool to room temperature.
If you prefer, you can strain the mixture to remove any saffron strands or spices.
 Freeze the Kulfi:

Pour the cooled kulfi mixture into kulfi molds or popsicle molds.
If desired, add chopped pistachios into the molds for a crunchy texture.
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
 Serve:

To release the kulfi, dip the outside of the molds briefly in warm water.
Serve the kulfi straight from the molds, garnished with more pistachios or crushed rose petals if you like.
 Tip: Kulfi is traditionally made without an ice cream maker, so it’s naturally denser and creamier than regular ice cream!

Natural BOMB for Cleansing the Liver and Blood Vessels: 4 Powerful Ingredients

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, bloated, or just not yourself, chances are your liver and blood vessels could use a little boost. With all the stress, unhealthy food, and toxins we deal with every day, our body sometimes struggles to keep up. Luckily, nature has given us some amazing, all-natural ingredients that can help us refresh, cleanse, and feel our best again.

This powerful natural drink — let’s call it the “Natural Bomb” — is easy to prepare, bursting with nutrients, and only takes a few minutes to whip up. It combines simple ingredients like beetroot, carrot, ginger, parsley, and tomatoes, making it a perfect vitamin-packed drink to cleanse your liver and blood vessels.

Ready to feel the glow? Let’s break it down step-by-step — the ingredients, their benefits, and how to make this magical concoction.

Why is Cleansing Important?

The liver is one of the most hardworking organs in your body. It filters out toxins, helps digest fats, and ensures that your blood stays clean. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle puts a lot of pressure on the liver. Processed foods, sugar, stress, alcohol, and lack of exercise can lead to toxin buildup, making us feel tired and sluggish.

At the same time, clean blood vessels are key for good circulation, heart health, and overall energy. If fats and toxins accumulate in your blood, they can clog arteries and make it harder for your heart to pump oxygen-rich blood through your body.

That’s why detoxing — the natural way — can give your body the reset it needs. And this drink is both delicious and effective.

4 Powerful Ingredients That Make This Drink a Natural Miracle

The magic of this recipe comes from its carefully chosen ingredients, each packed with nutrients that target liver health, blood vessel cleansing, and overall wellness.

Beetroot is truly the liver’s best friend.

**Simple Creamy Dessert Recipe**
This simple creamy dessert is a quick, no-fuss treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a rich, smooth, and indulgent dessert that’s customizable to your taste. Whether you’re serving it after dinner or enjoying it as a snack, this dessert is sure to impress. Let’s dive into the full recipe!

—

### **Ingredients**
– 2 cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)
– 1/2 cup condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon gelatin (optional, for extra thickness)
– Fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or nuts (for garnish)

—

### **Instructions**

#### **Step 1: Chill the Ingredients**
Start by placing the heavy cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before whipping. Chilling the cream ensures it whips up light and fluffy, giving your dessert the perfect texture.

#### **Step 2: Whip the Cream**
In a large mixing bowl, pour the chilled heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can become grainy.

#### **Step 3: Add Sweetness & Flavor**
Once the cream is whipped, gently fold in the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Use a spatula to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy. The condensed milk adds sweetness and richness, while the vanilla enhances the flavor.

#### **Step 4: Set the Dessert (Optional)**
If you prefer a firmer texture, dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for a minute, then mix it into the creamy mixture. This step is optional but helps the dessert hold its shape better when served.

#### **Step 5: Chill & Serve**
Pour the creamy mixture into individual serving bowls or glasses. Cover them with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling allows the dessert to set and enhances its flavor.

#### **Step 6: Garnish & Enjoy**
Before serving, add your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries, chocolate shavings, or crushed nuts work beautifully. You can also drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup for an extra touch of indulgence.

—

### **Notes & Tips**
1. **Chill Before Serving**: This dessert tastes best when served cold, so make sure it’s well-chilled.
2. **Adjust Sweetness**: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of powdered sugar or condensed milk.
3. **Experiment with Flavors**: Add cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist, or mix in fruit purees like mango or strawberry for a fruity variation.
4. **Dairy-Free Option**: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
5. **Make It Fancier**: Layer the dessert with crushed cookies, fruit compote, or a drizzle of caramel for added texture and flavor.

No flour, no sugar! This easy-to-make, healthy baked oatmeal is a perfect breakfast choice to fuel your day while supporting weight loss goals. The combination of apples, bananas, and walnuts adds natural sweetness and crunch, while the oats provide fiber and energy. Plus, it’s a great option for those who are trying to eat clean but still enjoy a comforting meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 glass of milk (you can use almond milk, oat milk, or any milk of your choice)
• 1 apple, chopped into small pieces
• 1 banana, sliced
• 3 eggs
• Vanillin sweetener (to taste)
• 60g walnuts, chopped

Directions:

1. Prepare the Oats:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of oatmeal and 1 glass of milk. Stir gently to ensure the oats are evenly coated with the milk.
• Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb the milk, making them softer and helping them to cook more evenly during baking.

2. Prepare the Fruits:

• While the oats are soaking, chop the apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
• Slice the banana into rounds, ensuring even slices for easy distribution in the mixture.

3. Mix the Batter:

• After the oats have had time to absorb the milk, add the chopped apple and sliced banana to the oatmeal mixture.
• Crack 3 eggs into the bowl, which will help bind the ingredients together and add structure to the bake.
• Add the vanillin sweetener to taste. This will provide a light, vanilla flavor without adding any sugar. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference. You can also opt for a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit if desired.
• Mix everything well until the fruits, oats, eggs, and sweetener are fully combined into a smooth batter.

4. Add the Nuts:

• Stir in the chopped walnuts into the mixture. The walnuts will provide a nice crunch and some healthy fats. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a consistent texture.

5. Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
• Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Then, pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your baking dish, so keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overcook or burn.

6. Cool and Serve:

• Once the oatmeal is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish.
• Cut into squares or slices and serve as is, or for extra flavor, you can top it with a dollop of yogurt or drizzle with honey (though optional for added sweetness). This step adds a creamy contrast and enhances the flavor of the baked oatmeal.

Tips & Variations:

• Add-ins: Feel free to mix in other ingredients such as dried fruits, raisins, or a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the flavor even more.
• Make it Vegan: To make this recipe plant-based, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use plant-based milk.
• No Walnuts? You can swap walnuts with other nuts like almonds, pecans, or even seeds like chia or pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
• Make it Gluten-Free: Ensure that the oatmeal you use is labeled gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
• Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep! Make a batch at the beginning of the week and enjoy it throughout the week for a quick breakfast or snack. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
