Whip Evaporated Milk
Evaporated milk can make a great substitute for cream if you've run out and only have a tin of evaporated milk on hand. It is also an excellent replacement where you are seeking to reduce cholesterol in your diet because it contains a lot less cholesterol than cream.
Ingredients
- Canned evaporated milk (enough to substitute the amount of cream you are replacing)
Steps
- Pour the evaporated milk into ice cube trays.
- Place in the freezer for half an hour. The cubes are ready when ice has formed around the edges of the milk.
- Chill the bowl and mixer beaters in the fridge while the cubes are in the freezer.
- Remove the chilled bowl and mixer beaters.
- Take the ice tray out of the freezer and pour the slightly frozen evaporated milk into a pre-chilled bowl.
- Whisk the ice cubes with the chilled beater until a thick texture forms that resembles cream.
- Use in place of cream for dessert, cake filling etc. Use a spatula to remove from the bowl.
Tips
- This also makes a delicious dessert on its own when topped with grated dark chocolate, chopped glacé cherries and chopped almonds.
- This would also be a good time to add unflavored gelatin to use as a stabilizer, follow directions on gelatin envelope.
Warnings
- Evaporated milk still has many calories; it's not a cream calorie substitute!
