Whipping ‘Evaporated Milk’

[Tallpines]

Can it be done?

I had never heard of whipping evaporated milk, but that’s what the recipe said!
The recipe called for whipped Evaporated Milk, or, Whipped Cream.

I had already had the can of evaporated milk in the house, so I put it in the refrigerator over night to cool it down.

Well, it didn’t work.
If I try the recipe again, I will Be certain to use whipping cream.

Have you ever had success at whipping evaporated milk?

I don't think it would be possible myself.

Sounds like beating a dead cow.

I went ahead with the NOT fluffy evaporated milk, added the rest of the ingredients, and put that layer into the pan.
Chilled the whole thing for a few hours and took it to the DD’s.

And .....
When we returned home that evening ............ the PAN WAS EMPTY!

It must have tasted okay 👌.

I have made a recipe similar to that one....you need to get the canned milk ice cold, it needs ice crystals in it.....

Has anyone cooked condensed milk at home?

I was watching a YouTube and it was how to make caramel out of condensed milk. I couldn't wait to try it. You put an unopened can of condensed milk in a large pot with some white vinegar simmer it for 3 hours. Let cool completely. Open the can and you have caramel. No mess, use the caramel and throw the can away.

My daughter makes homemade keto condensed milk.

Never tried whipping evap milk, but I have been very successful in making a whipped topping with dry milk.

1/2 c ice cold water
1/2 c dry milk
2 T lemon juice
1/3 c sugar

Use a very cold bowl and beaters (metal that you stuck in the freezer for a half-hour or so works best). Mix water and milk powder beat to stiff peaks. Slowly add lemon juice then finally fold in sugar.

We make a vegan whipped topping using aquafava (the liquid drained from canned chickpeas)

My wife has a recipe for vegan cheesecake, but we haven't tried it yet. It calls for the use of silicone cupcake liners, which we do not have.

I've made the whipped aquafava. I figured it would taste like beans, but it's actually pretty good.

And, it makes a dang good meringue if it is baked.

Sure does.

When my kids were little I whipped evaporated milk occasionally. I put the unopened can in the freezer and got it very cold. It wasn't frozen but probably did have some ice crystals. It whipped up pretty good but I think it had softer peaks than whipped cream or meringue. It worked for whatever I was making the kids, though, so I was good with it but my oldest will soon be 50 so maybe I remember it better than it was.
