How to make Sugar Free Condensed Milk
This recipe is for all of use who have been stumped by an ingredient in a recipe.
For me, that 'recipe-stump' usually is something like condensed milk.
I spend quite a bit of time trying to convert normal recipes into sugar free ones.
Often, this recipe conversion means having to find work-around for certain recipes. This is especially true when I am baking something wonderful.
There is a difference between evaporated milk and condensed milk.
I am mentioning this because people often wonder if you can substitute one for the other.
Thanks to this recipe, or simple hack, you can substitute a version of evaporated milk for the condensed milk.
Yes, condensed milk is sweetened while evaporated milk is not
However, you should know that both are virtually the same in milk concentration. Hence, evaporated milk can be used for the condensed stuff. All we need to do is sweeten it using this method.
