Airehead Posted January 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2020 I am simmering some milk to make condensed milk for baking later. I am using maple sugar instead of white sugar. It smells delicious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2020 Is the home made that much better? I rarely use condensed milk except in donair sauce, but have always just bought it. Is it worth making? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this application I am making maple ice cream so this will be a good base. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead Posted January 25, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2020 Condensed milk is super great in Vietnamese coffees.... which is basically a French pressed iced coffee. Mmmmmm... mmmmmm.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted January 25, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 25, 2020 You can take a tin of condensed, simmer in a pot for a while, I forget how long. And when you're done, it's caramelised and nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns into a wonderful dulce de leche type stuff that I only used part of and flat out ate the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensed is sweeter. Correct. Both have half the water removed but evaporated in not sweet. Condensed becomes liquid sugar in recipes and ensures they are smooth with no granular feel from sugar crystals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not the good powered milk, the fake powdered milf from Bi-Lo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
