I’m not sure if I can change the recipe so that I will be able to eat it so five stars because it sounds like something I would like to try. Can I make my own condensed milk with Stevia instead of sugar? And can I substitute my store’s brand of fat free cool whipped topping for the full fat cream? If so, how much of the already whipped fat free topping would I use since it’s already whipped? Thank You in advance.
Hi Monica, I have never made it this way but apparently you can make sweetened condensed milk with stevia here is a link to a recipe https://www.myketokitchen.com/keto-recipes/sugar-free-sweetened-condensed-milk/, and yes they say cool whip will also work, just fold it into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Let me know how it turns out.
