Low Carb Magic Cookie Bars! One of my all-time favorite treats now comes in a keto and grain-free recipe. Use my easy sugar-free condensed milk to make this classic dessert in a healthy form. This is an updated recipe, now even easier and more delicious!
Oh, my low-carb, non-sugar friends, you are going to love me. Love me! Because I have come up with a great new recipe for sugar-free sweetened condensed milk, perfect for making this low carb, gluten free magic cookie bars recipe.
I updated the condensed milk recently and now it’s even easier than ever. No need to stand over the pot, stirring for hours on end to reduce the mixture. The new version comes together in about 30 minutes and uses 3 basic ingredients! So now you can get to these delicious keto cookie bars even faster.
Magic cookie bars were one of my favorite childhood treats. They were so easy to make, perfect for a kid trying to flex her newly found baking muscles. And they were so satisfyingly gooey and delicious. Everyone I knew loved them, but they all had different names for them.
7 Layer Bars was a common one, because the traditional version had 7 ingredients all layered together. My family referred to them as Hello Dollies; I have no idea why but that’s what I grew up calling them. It was only once I moved to the US that I heard them referred to as Magic Cookie Bars.
When I went low carb, I assumed that these wonderful gooey bars were now off limits forever.
Of course they were, for heaven’s sake! They took at least three ingredients that were so very much not low carb or healthy. Graham crackers in the crust, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. All things that were on the keto no-no list. Unless, of course, you can find leto-friendly alternatives. Dare I even dream that it was possible?
Heck yeah, I dared. I dared greatly. And it was indeed possible!
How to Make Low Carb Magic Cookie Bars
- The biggest obstacle was coming up with a low carb sweetened condensed milk recipe. Which actually wasn’t that much of an obstacle at all, as it turns out. My old version was great but a little higher carb because it contained whole milk. It also took a lot longer to make, as you had to boil it for over an hour. My new sugar-free condensed milk is faster, easier, and lower carb because it takes only heavy whipping cream.
- The graham crackers obviously had to go too. Thankfully, nut flours and meals make a great substitute for low carb crusts, and taste just as good if not better. A little butter, a little sweetener, a little salt, pressed together into the pan and presto! A keto graham cracker crust.
- Those chocolate chips were a bit of an issue for a while. For a long time, I would use 90% cacao chocolate, which still had a bit of sugar. And the original version of these magic cookie bars had that as part of the recipe. However, since then there have been a few developments. One being my homemade sugar-free chocolate chips, which are perfect in this recipe. The other is that there is some great low carb chocolate on the market now, including Lily’s chocolate chips.
With all these pieces in place, I was ready to re-create that beloved childhood treat. My old recipe, which I originally published in 2012, was better than I could have hoped. They smelled just like magic cookie bars when baking, they looked just like magic cookie bars when being cut up, and they tasted just like magic cookie bars when eaten. They were less cloyingly sweet than the conventional bars, but that is definitely a good thing.
The updated version is very similar, except that I use my new sugar-free condensed milk. I’ve made the crust a little less crumbly as well, and I used Lily’s chocolate chips or my own homemade chocolate chips in place of the 90% dark chocolate bar. This means they have the same great taste but fewer carbs. Now that’s what I call an improvement!
I am looking forward to playing more with my new low carb condensed milk recipe. I have already made some gorgeous Key Lime Bars that you need to try. And I am pretty sure that this recipe will work just as well in my low carb dulce de leche and coconut flan recipes.
But believe me, the first thing you should make with it is a pan of Low Carb Magic Cookie Bars. Or Seven Layer Bars. Or Hello Dollies. Whatever you want to call them, just get on it!

I’ve just discovered the greatness of Swerve (and Zsweet). I wish I could do dairy right now, I’d be allll over these. They look SO GOOD!
Batya says
I just experimented today with a dairy-free version of this, made with almond milk. I haven’t had the chance to try the finished cookie bars yet, but I think it worked!
Carolyn says
Oh cool! I wasn’t sure almond milk would work at all for the condensed milk. Let me know what happens in the end.
Kathy Jo says
I’m a little late to the conversation, but I just wanted you to know I made a double batch, using half and half with water in place of the whole milk, and it only took about 15 minutes more and it is delicious! It wasn’t as thick as real sweetened condensed milk (I probably should have used more xantham gum) but it is sweet and caramel tasting!! Thank you for all your recipes!!!
Lisa Stafford says
I have made this using coconut milk and it turned out great.
Carolyn says
Several people have said the same so I am very glad it works!
Melinda says
Coconut milk from the can?
Stephanie Niksa says
How did you do that? I would love to be able to make this dairy free
Cecily says
I made the sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream and it seem to turn out fabulous!
Carolyn says
So good to hear!
Jo Newton says
How much Coconut Cream? Same as Carolyn’s original Condensed Milk recipe?
Katharine says
Drooling!!!!
Alison @ Ingredients, Inc. says
wow these look great and gluten free! Even BETTER!
[email protected] says
Hoo boy, Carolyn, I haven’t even had breakfast yet (am trying chia-flax thing today, finally remembered to pick up chia at the market) and now I want these instead. Next batch, can you get rid of the calories, too? LOL. Often we low-carbers forget that calories actually count, too.
[email protected] says
Oh girl, I feel the magic just looking at them!
shelly (cookies and cups) says
Well, now that I know how to make my own sweetened condensed milk I don’t know that I will ever leave the house!
Trina says
One of my all time favourite Christmas goodies (the only time we made them). My Mom and I will give this version a whirl this holiday season. I’ve been compiling great recipes for our annual holiday baking (since this is our first Christmas low carb). Thanks!
angela says
Hey I’ve been searching and searching for great holiday cookie recipes. I have a few but definitely would like more variety. Could you tell me if you know where I could find some great recipes (gluten free.low carb?)
Carolyn says
I did a round up of great LC mostly GF recipes last year… https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2011/12/low-carb-gluten-free-holiday-cookie-round-up.html
Ivonne Carlo says
Yay! I can’t wait to make these Caroline! And it’s so great to hear the flan is coming in the future! You totally rock! 😀
Karen @LowCarbOneDay says
That is great Carolyn! I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for the Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk. 🙂
Nout says
You are my hero. The full-carb version of these (Hello Dolly Squares is what I grew up calling them) are some of my favorite holiday treats. I never thought a low carb version was possible! So excited to try these out!
ovenbird says
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Do these bars need to be refrigerated if made a few days ahead of serving?
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Once again, I am so impressed by what you are able to do without sugar. I think my blondies should be your next challenge lol
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
I completely and totally believe these are magic. They look absolutely perfect!
Jeanette says
These look delectable! I can’t wait to try them. May I ask, how much low carb sweetened condensed milk do you end up with? Is it one cup? Thanks so much!
Carolyn says
Yes, it’s one cup. I believe it’s in the recipe under Yield. I figured it was about 8 servings, 2 tbsp per person, if you were just going to eat it straight. 🙂
Jeanette says
Thank you. Apparently, I can’t read the entire recipe before I jump in and ask questions! LOL! Thanks for your patience!
Pamela Frazier says
You are an absolute genius! I’ve been checking out your recipes, wow! Gives me hope that maybe I can do this after all.
Cathi G. says
Hi: I am wondering if Coconut Milk and Coconut Creme can replace the dairy and Can Sunflower Lecithin replace Xathan. gum for the thickener?
Carolyn says
Coconut milk and cream are fine for the dairy, but I have no idea about the lecithin as I have never worked with it.
Patty G. says
I am SO excited for these! Can NOT wait to make them. Your recipes rock!
Laurie says
You are the best. Just the best. Magic bars… drool…
Liz says
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! Hope you’re having a wonderful week~ xo
[email protected] says
As always, looks scrumptious! I make a condensed milk with coconut milk for my Magic Coconut Bars (http://simplylivinghealthy.org/2012/02/09/magic-coconut-bars/) I only use 2 Tbsp of coconut sugar so not much in the scheme of the entire dessert but I am definitely going to try using Swerve in the recipe next time!
Carolyn says
That sounds delicious, I am definitely going to try that out with coconut milk.
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
Awesome to know that a low carb version of these sweet childhood treats are possible!
Kim Bee says
Carolyn, you are a total genius. I am in awe right now. You just blow my mind on a daily basis. I still think of these as hello dollies too and I can’t help but sing the song every single time.
Carolyn says
Maybe it’s a Canadian thing to call them Hello Dollies?
Batya says
I don’t think it’s strictly Canadian — my mother was from St. Louis and that’s what she always called them.
D'Etta Lasky says
I’m from NC and grew up with Hello Dollies, aka Seven Layer Bars, aka sugar coma. I want to try to make them more authentic with homemade butterscotch morsels (using Truvia) and Lily’s chips. Thank you so much for this! It’s a family tradition I hope to continue, low-carb.
Carolyn says
When I was growing up in Canada, we called them Hello Dollies too! I’ve never met anyone else who did.
Rebekah Phillips says
These look sensational, will make my own condensed milk tonight. Is the choc amount 3.5 oz or 13.5 oz?
Carolyn says
That reads as one 3.5 oz chocolate bar. I hate the way it comes out on Ziplist like that!
Rebekah Phillips says
Thanks. Is the almond flour 1 3/4 cups or just 3/4 cup?
Carolyn says
That one is actually one and one-quarter. I have to find a better way of doing that! Sorry.
philis says
Your answer to Rebekah was 1 1/4 Almond flour but the recipe still says 1 3/4. Did you mean the latter? Thanks.
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.
Carolyn says
The latter, yes! 1 and 3/4. I don’t know the other recipe, but I’ve heard people make it with coconut milk and like it. I like coconut milk well enough, but when it comes to sweetened condensed milk, I want the real thing!
Yomi says
Love your site. 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. Thanks!
Carolyn says
I am sorry, I don’t know what you mean. The amounts in the recipe are correct…in a comment to one person who didn’t understand whether it was 3/4 cup or 1 and 3/4 cup, I made an error in my comment. But not in the recipe. The numbers in ziplist can be very close together and there’s not much I can do about that. But several other people have made these bars without any problems whatsoever. The recipe is correct. Thanks.
Chris says
Would putting 1.75 cups work…the “.75” for the “3/4”?? could also do .25 for 1/4, .50 for 1/2??
or 1 cup + 3/4 cup?? (to show “separation”)
Chris says
Actually…my comment should have said use .5 for 1/2….1.5 cups looks right but 1.50 doesn’t…lol
Carolyn says
I just don’t like the way the 1.5 looks. I need to work on this, I guess.
Rebekah Phillips says
I have died & gone to low carb heaven! The condensed milk cooled and thickened up like caramel custard, without xanthan gum! No problems incorporating the butter, it melted and blended straight in. I am awaiting the finished product, can’t wait to try it.
What about a berry brulee recipe using your magic milk? I know this is sacrilege, but I am over chocolate & have a thing for berries. It is spring here in Australia, berry season is around the corner.
Thanks for the clarification re quantities. I added some extra almond meal cause the batter was sweet and didn’t look big enough. 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.
Your recipes are the best, keep ’em coming!
Carolyn says
yay, so glad it worked! I have some non-chocolate ideas for this milk, so stay tuned. May take me a while, though…
Gerri says
Oh, be still my heart. They look incredible!
How much stevia powder is equal to 15 drops?
Thanks for many scrumptious recipes.
Carolyn says
I’d say about 1/8 tsp of powder. I am not sure how well that will mix into the condensed milk but give a go and see!
Gerri says
Thanks!
[email protected] says
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.
Barbara Gearhart says
Should you stir the milk mixture for 11/2 hours? I’m not sure I can do that. How frequent should I ? Scrape bottom or no?
Carolyn says
Hi Barbara. 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. As long as you keep the heat low enough, it shouldn’t get too clumpy.
Frank says
This part puzzles me. Don’t scrape the sides or “you will get chunky bits in your condensed milk.” So you NEVER reincorporate the milk that sticks to the sides or only do it as a part of the penultimate whisk in butter and xantham gum step? Seems to be that the bits on the bottom would be more problematic than bits on the sides.
Carolyn says
Don’t whisk it in. The clumps are unavoidable when you boil something that long but you don’t want them in your milk
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
Oh dear oh dear. You are saving the world. Genius.
Cara says
Oh my goodness. I’m sure I’m not the only one who considers these bars to be “crack”. Lovin’ this healthier version!
Javelin Warrior says
These bars look fantastic and I love that you took the time to make your own low carb sweetened condensed milk! I remember seeing Shannon’s recipe for sweetened condensed milk quite a while back and was so impressed then too 🙂 I’m featuring this post in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution as always). Thanks for continuing to inspire me with your creations…
Susan says
oh, yumm…made these yesterday and you are so right, gotta heart you!
And for those fabulous gingerbread scones last week.
Now patiently waiting for the other ‘milk’ recipes.
Lindsay Coleman says
CAROLYN! Seriously. I’ve been dreaming of this very thing for a year now. 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-ate-4-bars-in-4-hours yesterday, good. I would have eaten more, but I restrained myself. 🙂 I’ve posted on Pinterest and Facebook about them with a link back to here.
I love your blog – your recipes are ALWAYS good and your writing is great.
Thanks for doing what you do- it works!
-Lindsay
Carolyn says
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Lisa | With Style and Grace says
just by the looks of these, you’d never know they were low carb and gluten-free!
Nikole Lily says
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
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 can’t wait to make these for him. I am sure they will bring a smile to his face <3 THANK YOU!!!!! <3
Carolyn says
Oh you poor things, you and your son. What a month it must have been for you. I don’t have experience with Type 1 personally, of course, but I know it’s so hard because there is so much planning needed. It’s easier when not reliant on insulin. 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. Most of my muffin recipes are under 5g of carbs so they shouldn’t have too much affect on your son’s glucose levels. Good luck to you both!
Tofulover says
Is there any chance I could use 2 cups of regular whipping cream instead of the milk and heavy cream? I’d like to lower the car count is possible.
Carolyn says
You bet. It may thicken up faster so watch it carefully.
Nicole says
What would you recommend to substitute for the oat flour (allergic)? Or just use all almond?
I miss the smell and taste of oats, but my body does not agree!
Carolyn says
You could do one of two things. 1 tbsp of coconut flour, or about 3 to 4 more tbsp of almond flour. It would all work very well!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes says
This is awesome! And the cookie bars look so delicious 🙂
Gerri says
Adding my applause. They are scrumptious, though mine weren’t as pretty as yours (not that it makes a difference when they taste soooo good). Any idea why the sweetened milk formed a crust on the top? Too thick? I made it the night before & warmed it before adding.
Thanks for another to-die-for recipe!
Carolyn says
Whenever one of my recipes doesn’t come out looking as good as I hoped, I say “Well, at least it will taste good!” 🙂
Gerri says
True! Better than the reverse.
Pat Garay says
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? Yippee! And the sweetened condensed milk came out good, too! Genius, I say, genius!
Tammy says
Awesome. This was my Christmas staple. I could eat a whole pan. I was a little too lazy to make the sweetened condensed milk…instead I did the 1 cup of powdered milk (12g) with 1/2 cup boiling water and 2/3 cup Splenda or swerve and blend until thickened in the blender. Very close to the original as well. I have a Christmas favorite back…thank you.
Kapu says
Looks yummy. What could I replace the oat flour and whole milk with? Thanks 🙂
Carolyn says
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.
Kapu says
Thanks!
Kelly says
Hi, this recipe looks so good!, I love your recipes!.
andrea says
do you have to use the xanthum gum?
Carolyn says
Not if you don’t want to, but it does help thicken it a bit more.
Kathy says
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. In the past 2 days, I’ve made this twice! 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. I’m taking them to work tomorrow so I don’t eat the whole pan!
LowCarbCentral says
So I think the answer is no, but would your sweetened condensed milk carmelise? it’s the sugars that make this happen so I am thinking not but worth an ask as you’ve used it a bit
Carolyn says
Search my blog for dulce de leche… 🙂
Jeanette says
These are just so fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!! 😀
nat says
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.
Cheers,
–n
Carolyn says
I think it could easily be doubled, and I don’t think it would increase your cooking time by more than half an hour…maybe up to an hour, but I doubt it. Let me know how it turns out!
Heather from Canada says
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). 🙂
Catherine H. says
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: basically failed caramel (although it tasted fantastic!) I used it on the cookie bars anyway (underneath the nuts & coconut instead of on top) and it tasted lovely, though it was definitely not sweetened condensed milk. The second time, I used the full amount of whole milk, and the recipe worked perfectly as written. I’m making it into dulce de leche as I speak. The moral is, trust the expert who wrote the recipe.
Carolyn says
Hi Catherine,
Thank you for this…I didn’t realize that the cream would do that. Very good to know. Several people have asked if they could use all cream and I didn’t think it would be such a problem!
Carolyn says
I actually just updated the recipe to say not to use all cream. Thanks for trying it out! Sorry it didn’t work, though 🙁
Catherine H. says
Not at all, not at all! You can’t blame yourself for my disobeying orders:). 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.
Philis says
Catherine I used 1/2 & 1/2 and water to make mine and it worked fine. So you could probably use cream and water. Then less carbs. But I might be wrong too. 🙂 Thanks for letting us know your experience.
Katie says
I just tried making this sweetened condensed milk. Made a double batch (2 c. milk/2 c. cream). Ive let it reduce all afternoon since it didn’t reduce enough in 90 min., and I still ended up with 4 cups?? Frustrated, to say the least.
Carolyn says
Wow, that is very strange. Any liquid should reduce when simmered like that. Is it any thicker? I’ve made this as double batches and it reduces just fine. Do you have xanthan gum? You could just see if you could add that and if it thickens up enough.
Alberta says
What’s the shelf-life of the low carb sweetened condensed milk?
I’ve recently discovered you through pinterest and boy, am I happy I did. Your site has been a great resource (uplift) for my sometimes low carb boredom blues.
Carolyn says
Hi Alberta…I’ve actually managed to keep my condensed milk in the fridge for slightly more than a week, with no souring or spoiling. Yippee!
Marv says
Hi, made these and became an instant celebrity! So glad I found this site.
Two questions for the experts here though: 1) the unsweetened coconut seems quite dry, did I maybe get an old bag; and 2) in the unlikely event there are leftovers, do they require refrigeration?
Thank you!
Carolyn says
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.
Marv says
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.
PS: This blog is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for the effort; you’ve made a difference in my family’s life.
Heather from Canada says
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? The butter incorporated well, I probably didn’t need the xanthan gum. I added the vanilla when it was still warm, didn’t read the recipe right and didn’t have the stevia. Anything here that you think would crystallize the Swerve? I ended up having to heat up the milk in order to pour it over the squares, and it didn’t sink under the ingredients, so it’s like loose toppings trapped between the crust and a layer of icing. Tastes great, but would like to get it right, I love sweetened condensed milk! Oh and I only had about 1/3 cup of milk left so I used water and whipping cream for the rest and it was fine.
Carolyn says
There are so many variables here that you had to change, it’s really hard to pinpoint what could be the problem. I think possibly turning up the heat made the Swerve crystallize…I find when it’s heated a lot in a liquidy thing, it’s more likely to do that. 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. Then it won’t be quit so thick.
Heather from Canada says
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 Nanaimo bars. Yum!! And eating it straight out of the pot of course! I did find again that it didn’t reduce on low, so apparently my stove needs to be on 3 to keep a simmer that will reduce it enough. I ended up with slightly more than 4 cups but I like the consistency. So thanks again, another great recipe!!!
Carolyn says
Wow, I can’t wait to hear how it all turns out!
Heather from Canada says
So I ended up with 4 1/3 cups of it, turned 2 cups into dulce de leche for the ice cream (SO GOOD), made a double batch of your coconut cranberry almond macaroons (without the chocolate dip) and a double recipe of your Nanaimo bar tart, which I put in an 11 x 13 pan to make squares. The filling is a bit soft so I’m going to freeze them for an hour before I cut them with a sharp knife (not your fault, I changed your filling receipe because I didn’t want to use the vanilla pudding powder or the Bird’s custard due to dietary issues). The filling tastes wonderful though, not too sweet. I don’t usually like Nanaimo bars because the filling layer is too sweet, but these ones are great! I used the same amount of cream cheese, whipping cream and vanilla as recommended, did not use the almond milk and substituted 1/2 cup of the sweetened condensed milk instead of the almond milk/pudding powder. 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.
Carolyn says
I may have to try your variation so we can do away with the yucky sugar free pudding powder. Maybe for Canada Day! 🙂
Lady Jennie says
Oh shoot. 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).
Off to search your other ice cream recipes for my new ice cream machine.
Estelle says
Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing. The condensed milk is hmmm … wonderful does not describe it 🙂 Now I don’t know if I should make the bars or just keep the bottle of condensed milk in the fridge to have a spoon every now and again, I am so happy that it will last me a whole week
Kathy says
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 also did not have granulated erythritol, just powdered, and since I didn’t know the amount for substitution, I used 1 1/2 cups for a double batch of cream/whole milk. After bringing the mixture to the boil on 100% power, I reduced the power to 40%, and cooked in increments, stirring every so often till the liquid reduced to just less than 1/2 and became a lovely light caramel brown colour (the colour of light brown sugar). 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.
Carolyn says
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!
Kathy says
My husband, who is a type 2 diabetic, has been eating this creamy “fudge” by the spoonful, and just cannot believe that it is not affecting his blood sugar levels. 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. Of course, it isn’t nutritious like vegetables, nor is it calorie free, but this unexpected result from not following your cooking directions has turned into a real treat for him.
Carolyn says
I am so glad! No, you’re right it’s not nutritious but it’s nice to be able to have a treat!

I have made the Magic Cookie Bars with your condensed milk, and they were fantastic. Tonight, I made Key Lime Pie using Joes Stone Crab Key Lime Pie recipe http://joesstonecrab.com/recipes/keylime.html and made it with your condensed milk and it was INSANE! Made a crust of almond flour, butter, & swerve and whipped cream to serve with it. OH MY! Thanks so much for your awesome recipes! Even the non low carbers at our 4th of July celebration loved it!
Carolyn says
Wonderful! I keep meaning to make key lime pie…glad to know the condensed milk works for it!
Melissa M says
Any way to do this in the crock pot?
Carolyn says
You mean the condensed milk? Probably…for 4 hours maybe.
Carolyn says
Has anyone tried this in the crock pot? I’d love to hear how it turned out!
Shirley Ho says
Hi Carolyn,
I don’t have stevia extract, what can I substitute with that? Thanks!
Carolyn says
About 2 to 3 tbsp more Swerve or preferred sweetener.
Bruna says
Is it possible to use an artificial sweetener instead of erythritol, like splenda??
Carolyn says
I think you could try it, but keep in mind that Swerve has some fiber in it, so using Splenda may change the consistency.
Wenda says
I made the sweetened condensed milk… Then the magic cookie. Bars …Delicious!!!!
Thanks for great recipes!!
Holly says
Hey, don’t be scared of polydextrose. It’s just a fiber that’s really very useful in low-carb baking. It’s not very sweet, so you still need to use some sucralose or something, but it is really good at mimicking the bulking properties of sugar. It’s the secret to making desserts gooey. It’s the secret to making sugar-free ice cream that is actually scoopable.
Do a little research, maybe buy a bag and play with it a bit. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Feel free to email me if you want to chat about the stuff.
Roger Conner says
I have some polydextrose for ice cream-making but I don’t know where to start. Do I substitute it for sugar, or simply add it to the mix? How and when? Any help appreciated.
Pam says
Dear Carolyn,
What about using evaporated milk + sweetener to make sweetened condensed milk quickly?
Carolyn says
I don’t know that this would be a great option. Evaporated milk has a lot of carbs, even though it’s unsweetened.
Tracy Murphy says
These look delish! Can’t wait to try them. I think I might use low-carb “Angel Coconut” (unsweetened coconut flakes steeped in boiling water and erythritol or DaVinci syrup heated to boiling for 15 minutes). It’s softer, more moist and sweeter –seems tailor-made for this recipe.
Carolyn says
Sounds great to me!
Lorri says
I just made both of these! Worked perfectly, delicious. I am having so much fun with your site. Thank you for the recipes.
Chocolate Rose says
I’m planning on making your Copycat Cream Eggs today and made a double batch of the sweetened condensed milk yesterday. I used all cream and left out the xanthan gum, and it turned out perfect! YUM! I made the bars with half of the milk and they are amazing. Dh (not low carb/gluten free) “snuck” a piece while they were cooling and came to find me to tell me how good they are. I can’t wait to see how the eggs turn out.
Have you tried freezing the milk yet? I’d love to make up a larger batch if there was some way to successfully store it for when I needed it.
Paula says
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.
Carolyn says
I haven’t but Maria Emmerich does and might be able to guide you.
KathyM says
Saw a recipe for Vanilla Bean Chai Syrup on Food52.com made with regular sweetened condensed milk, so I whipped up your recipe and then added the spices. WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for low carb SCM. Here’s the recipe if you’d like it.
Vanilla Bean Chai Syrup
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons ground cardamon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
Mix together and store in fridge. Use 1-2 spoonfuls per cup of hot tea.
Carolyn says
Nice! I love the idea!!! I am going to share on my FB page, if that’s okay with you.
KathyM says
Sure, just credit Food52.com as the source.
Sasha says
I made this yesterday for your ice cream recipe, but right at the end I realised that the bits on the sides were FUDGE! So I’m going to try to make fudge with it next time. 🙂 I guess I’ll follow a standard recipe and use this for the condensed milk and more Swerve for the sugar. My husband gets a funny taste from Swerve, so I’m trying to find recipes where it’s less obvious to him!
I also have plans to try to use it in a South African style lemon meringue pie (the “curd” layer has condensed milk in our version of the recipe).
Carolyn says
Yes I have made fudge with this condensed milk. https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2012/12/fruit-and-nut-fudge-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html
Sasha says
Thank you so much! I’ll be trying to make the “plain” fudge I’m used to (no choc/fruits/nuts), but that recipe seems like a wonderful starting point… thank you for all the work you’ve put into your recipe – I think you might have changed my life!
Claire says
Hello!
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! More butter needed? 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?
Many thanks! Now I have found this site, I should have no problem convincing my T1D 11 year old that she really does want to eat LCHF!
Carolyn says
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. So I suspect it’s something like your almond flour is too coarse (almond meal really) and so it doesn’t hold together as well.
Claire says
That will be it! I cannot seem to buy almond flour here in France. Do you think that I can transform “meal” into flour in a blender?
Carolyn says
You can try. A coffee grinder might work even better but it would be in small batches.
Ann says
Claire, you can get Almond flour from this source in the UK http://www.realfoodstore.co.uk/ I am pretty sure they ship throughout Europe. 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.
Ann
Vicki says
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.
Jammie says
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!
EdiaKaran says
I just made the condensed milk, exactly as the recipe said: Its amazing and taste so great! Im so happy because I will finally be able to do a low carb version of my favorite childhood cheese flan, pumpkin flan & ginger flan!! Not to mention a low carb Thai Tea! Im doing now the dulce the leche….ahh that ice cream is going to be the hit of the Summer! Big Thanks!
Carolyn says
So glad to hear it!
Ann says
Carolyn,
I made the condensed milk and it worked really well, You cant really get Swerve here, I have seen it on Amazon but its £75 (I believe the supplier is in the USA, no chance at this price) so instead I used erythritol, Now Brand, which I guess is granular though much finer than normal granulated sugar. 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. I don’t see how one could make it with just the erythritol in chilled products if this happens (and ice cream is certainly chilled) should I have powdered the erythritol before using it, and is there any way I can fix it now? I suspect by reheating but then won’t it simply recrystallise once its made into ice cream. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Ann
Carolyn says
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.
Emma says
exactly how thick should the condensed milk get? O: I made this tonight. It’s still just coating a spoon, but not nearly mayonnaise thick or gravy thick. It did reduce to about 9oz.
I stirred every minute or two for 1.5 hours.
It did get a little hotter at points, but that shouldn’t affect the thickening too much, right?
One thing I’ve noticed is my local, non-ultra-pasteurized heavy cream froths up before it boils, so I have to take it off the heat and stir a lot to get the froth down before I can let it come to a boil.
Carolyn says
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.
kmnsbtt says
Found this while looking for ice cream recipes…it’s fabulous. 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.
hannah says
Hi Carolyn, I haven’t attempted this yet, but if it does get clumpy….. through my ineptitude do you think it could be saved by whizzing it with stick mixer? Thanks!
Carolyn says
Very possibly!
Rachel says
Just wondering, is it possible to make this recipe without any granulated sweetener and just use entirely liquid sweetener such as sucaryl (saccharin + cyclamate mixture). I don’t like using baking granulated splenda as it has so many carbs, and I’m having a hard time finding an erythritol blend which doesn’t cost heaps. Thanks 🙂
Carolyn says
Yes, I think you could, although I don’t know in what quantities.
Gina says
Do u think the condensed milk would work with soy creamer and almond milk???
Carolyn says
I think so, but I don’t know how it cooks down since it doesn’t have as much natural sugar. Coconut milk might work better than soy.
Common Sense says
I made the sweetened condensed milk to make coffee creamer, recipe:
http://www.mrshappyhomemaker.com/2013/03/homemade-coffee-creamer-over-20-flavor-varieties/
The recipe calls for 1.5 cups of sweetened condensed milk. This recipe wasn’t quite that much, but worked out just fine.
As I posted elsewhere, my cooking times are significantly quicker, maybe because I’m in Colorado and at a high elevation. Reducing only took 45 minutes and I probably could have cut that down by at least 10 minutes. It was actually pretty easy and the dogs sure didn’t mind the extra thick bits around the edge of the pan! (They are my pre-wash for dishes).
It’s absolutely great and I can’t wait to make Magic Cookie Bars with it, they were one of my favorites from my childhood.
For the creamer, I think next time I’ll leave out the xanthum gum, it makes for a VERY thick creamer.
Carolyn says
Interesting to know about the less cooking time.
peasmom says
Hi, Carolyn. 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. 🙂
Carolyn says
I can’t say for sure but I don’t think the erythritol is key. It’s the slow cooking down of the milk that makes it like real condensed milk. So give it a go with stevia…maybe make a half batch to test it out?
peasmom says
Yes, I think I will do that. Try it out first with a small batch and see if it works. I’m over here on the other side of the globe in Southeast Asia and so far I only see stevia. I’m going out for another attempt to search for erythritol. Thanks so much!
Debbie Lieber says
I am sooo excited about finding your recipe for a low carb sweetened condensed milk! It is amazing to me every day that if you need an ingrediant in the kitchen before you run to the store or pass on your current craving all you have to do is Google the ingrediant, and SOMEONE HAS ALREADY made I diy version!! 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! Thank You for this amazing recipe as well as appreciation to all the other kitchen divas out their who have shared their additional ideas! My question is pushing my luck a little but I just have to ask….. Could this be poured into a canning jar, put in the crock pot and cooked to make the Crock pot version of caramel sauce I have been seeing on the web, do you think? I just saw that recipe a few days ago and thought that it was also a great idea! Would Looove to do it with the amazing low carb version SCMilk! Thanks again!!
Carolyn says
I don’t know for sure, but hey…it’s worth a try!
Patty says
Well, I WAS going to make ice cream for my family, but I think they’d be happy to just drink this condensed milk. It’s DELICIOUS!!!
Betsy says
I have a very old, authentic recipe for key lime pie using only 6 egg yolks, a cup of key lime juice and 1 can sweetened condensed milk. Do you suppose I could replace the scm in the original recipe with your sweetened condensed milk recipe? I was planning on making it in a low carb almond pie crust.
Carolyn says
Yes, I think you could!
Kate says
I have granulated stevia with erythritol. Will this work? I love sweetened condensed milk, but the carbs instantly go to my hips! I do a primal diet, but prefer to not use honey and maple syrup because of those darn carbs, so I use a lot of granulated stevia to make my rare treat. This looks so good, and hope this will work. Then I can do key lime pie and flan! Yummy!
Carolyn says
I think that will work. Is it a mix of the two? What brand is it?
Tina says
Caroyn,…Girl , you saved my life. First I made your graham crackers. Delicious! Then I took the graham crackers and used them for the crust for these Magic Cookie Bars. Yummy in my tummy.. I did as one person said and added a little more xanthum gum to thicken up my condensed milk . Instead of milk in the cookie recipe, because I am lactose intolerant, I used Atkins milk modification which is Heavy cream diluted with water. I did two tablespoons of heavy cream and the rest was water to make 1 cup of modified milk. Fabulous. You are wonderful and thank you so much for your contribution to low carb world. I was stuggling with this whole carb lifestyle but knowing every blue I can have a treat that will not spike my blood sugar levels. You made me believe that I can cook any of my favorite foods with just little bit of tweaking.
Carolyn says
So glad I could help, Tina!
BaileyQ says
So, this is the third cookie recepie I have tried from you blog, they have all been good, but this one is by far my favorite! That sweetened condensed milk is amazing. I didn’t know, something sugar free could be this good. I am going to try doing it dairy free next time. I’m thinking almond milk and canned coconut milk. I also used different sweeteners in my recepie. I used 1/4c xylotol and 1/4tsp pure stevia. I used 1c heavy cream, and subbed 1c half and half for the milk, to cut a few more carbs, but not skimp on taste and lastly I subbed 1/2 a vanilla bean pod for the extract. It only took about 30minutes to boil down to the right consistency. But amazing. Its so rich, I only need a tiny piece to curb my sweet tooth. Will be making again… And playing with this one.
Denise S. says
Carolyn, I made these and they are awesome!!!!!
Kathy Silber says
I’m excited to try this recipe and use it in the vanilla ice cream recipe. However, I have one question. I was a bit confused about your comment about not using all cream. So does the one cup cream and one cup milk make that adjustment? In other words, is this recipe exactly what I should use? I used to make a Lemon Meringue Pie for my husband using sweetened condensed milk. It was soooo good! I’d like to try it using your s.c.m. Thank you so much for your website and all of your wonderful recipes! They are superb.
Carolyn says
I added that comment because several readers attempted 2 cups of cream in an effort to lower the carbs and ended up with a gloppy mess. So yes, do 1 cup cream, 1 cup milk.
Cindy Cowles says
Can you sub in xylo-sweet for the sugar sub and stevia sub in the low carb sweet condensed milk? Other sweeteners like stevia have a strange aftertaste for me
Carolyn says
I can’t be sure it will thicken properly, since Swerve contains some fiber that helps the consistency. But it’s worth a try.
Candace Spaid says
Delicious.
Jackie says
So excited to try this! What does “all cream” mean in the ingredients, where It says “do not use all cream”…? Does that mean use heavy whipping cream rather than heavy cream?
Carolyn says
No…it means make sure you use at least half milk or almond milk because it gets too thick and clumpy if it’s all heavy cream/whipping cream.
Audrey T. says
Late to the party, as usual, but do you think fairlife whole milk would work for the sweetened condensed milk? It’s lactose free, with fewer carbs and more protein than regular whole milk. Some people online have called it Frankenmilk, but I’m intrigued by the concept.
I’ve recently become sensitive to lactose, but would love to try to make the SCM. I thought cashew milk might work as well; I’m not a huge fan of the taste of almond milk now that I’ve tried cashew milk.
Thank you in advance!
peasmom says
Hi, do you think this can be done using the slow cooker?
Carolyn says
No, I think the slow cooker would trap too much moisture and it wouldn’t firm up properly. But you are welcome to try!
Heather Edwards says
I just tried to make the sweetened condensed milk recipe and it came out a lovely Carmel color and flavor. I don’t think it will taste like vanilla ice cream. I used Allulose instead of Swerve and I wonder if this is why? I’m thinking about boiling down the cream and milk before adding the sweetener. Any reason why I shouldn’t do that?
Carolyn says
It has to be the allulose. And actually…addign the sweetener after cooking down is something I’ve done lately too and it works well.
Liz says
Oh, yum!!! These beautiful bars are one of my favorite desserts!!
Jennifer Blake says
No guilt sweet treat!
Kellie Hemmerly says
These would definitely satisfy my almond joy cravings!!! I get them a lot. 🙂
Nancy Ferreira says
When I made these the bottom dough was all crumbly and fell apart. How can I stop this from happening next time?
Carolyn says
More butter.
Christa says
I’ve just made the sweetened condensed milk to use in the ‘Creme Easter Eggs’. It tastes amazing, but is quite dark in comparison with your photo of your eggs. Any idea why this might be?
Kate says
The link to print the condensed milk is broken. Thought you might like to know.
Kiri says
I am on a low carb diet! This recipe is perfect and just in time for July 4th!
Koshie says
Is the nutritional information for 16 or for 24 bars? At the top of the recipe and at the bottom, it indicates the recipe should be cut into 16 pieces to serve 16, but the nutritional info seems to be based on 24?
Carolyn says
Oh sorry, 16. The updated version is only 16 bars. Let me go fix that…
Gayle S. says
OMGoodness…these are to DIE for good! I was hesitant to try these, cause I normally don’t like many recipes with almond flour, but oh my, these were PERFECT! They were so sweet that I ended up cutting them into smaller bars….I got 36 tiny squares, and I think that size is just right, at least for me.
And, just to contribute, these really taste like my sister’s “Better Than Sex” bars (very high carb)…just sayin…;)
Thanks SO MUCH for all that you do!! 🙂
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
I am a sucker for magic cookie bars! These look AMAZING!
Jennifer Farley says
How yummy! I’m going to whip up a batch!
gerry speirs says
Gooey scrumptiousness!!
Jennifer Blake says
Yum and so simple!
Ashley says
I lilly chocolate is a little to pricey for my budget, do you happen to have any other recommendations?
Carolyn says
To be frank, any decent sugar free chocolate that isn’t made with yucky ingredients like sucralose or maltitol is on the pricy side. It’s expensive to make. You can, however, get some 90% or 85% Lindt chocolate and chop that up. I’ve done that before. It does contain some sugar but it won’t really raise the carb count much.
Renee says
I accidentally baked the crust part for 20 minutes instead of 10….should I throw it out and start over? Or do you think it will be okay? I still have to add the toppings and bake another 20-25 minutes. Help! 😩
Carolyn says
It should probably be okay. The toppings do help protect the crust. The edges may get overdone, though.
Marla Berry says
How do you think using gelatin would work instead of xantham? I have not had a lot of luck with xantham. It always seems to create a slimy texture to me.
Carolyn says
No, absolutely not in this recipe. You don’t want it to gel, you want it to be thick and viscous.
Chuck Jones says
I didn’t have heavy whipping cream on hand, so I used two cans of evaporated coconut milk. I wanted to make a double batch 🙂
It turned out really well.
Karin in Savannah says
OMG these were sooooooo good! Just like the ones I remember as a kid. My family wolfed them down, although my husband (who is non-keto) did give me grief that they didn’t have the butterscotch chips in them. LOL
Lisa Gonzalez says
These should be called OMG bars because that’s what I said when I ate my first one!!! Love your recipes and all of the info you have on here. Keep up the awesome work!
Carolyn says
Hooray! thanks!.
Heather Kendrick says
Thanks so much for this recipe. Hello Dollies are a family favourite where I come from [Canada]. I switched to keto this year and am so glad to find a comparable recipe.
Carolyn says
I am also Canadian and grew up calling them Hello Dollies.
Wendy says
Thanks Carolyn! I made these at Christmas and they were wonderful! I’m sure I will make them again. Thank you!
Carolyn says
Glad to hear it!
Anna says
These bars are so rich and decadent! Everyone loved them!
Steph says
These cookies were so good and I love that they are low carb!
Toni says
These cookie bars are absolutely amazing! They were a huge hit!
Becky Hardin says
These cookie bars looks so delicious. A must try for sure!
Sabrina says
I am so happy to see you adapted this to fit into my diet. I have been craving these and now I can have them! Yay!!
Emma Shipp says
These are my and my husband’s favorite keto treat. I like to use them as breakfast bars. They are absolutely delicious and don’t taste low carb at all!
Carolyn says
So glad to hear it!
Marian Morgan says
So glad you’re still posting. I made these this week including the chocolate chips from scratch. It was outstanding. My question is can other sugar substitutes be used such as Lacanto Monk fruit Or Z sweet and would there be a difference?
Carolyn says
You mean in place of the Bocha Sweet? No, as both of these are erythritol based sweeteners.
ANGELA says
Awesomely yummy!!! So nice to have a sweet treat without worrying about sugar spiking. Thanks so much for your recipes!!
Olena says
I made these tonight and they are absolutely AMAZING, not to mention quite simple and quick to make. I couldn’t resist and ate two pieces. Thank you so much for coming up with this delicious recipe! I’ll definitely be making them again the future.
