Ingredients:

Instructions:

Here’s how to make your own evaporated milk in just a few simple steps:

Detailed Steps:

1. Mix powdered milk and warm water together. 🥛

   • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered milk with 1 1/2 cups of warm water.
   • Stir well until the powdered milk is completely dissolved. You should have a smooth, creamy mixture.

2. Add butter to the mixture. 🧈

   • Cut 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and add them to the milk mixture.
   • Stir until the butter is melted and fully incorporated into the mixture. This will add richness and flavor to your homemade evaporated milk.

3. Heat the mixture in a small pan. 🍳

   • Pour the milk and butter mixture into a small saucepan.
   • Place the saucepan over medium-low heat on the stove.
   • Heat the mixture gently, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. You want to heat it until it is just below the boiling point.

4. Beat well until smooth. 🥄

   • Once the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened, remove it from the heat.
   • Use a whisk or hand mixer to beat the mixture vigorously until it is smooth and creamy.
   • This step helps to create a smooth texture similar to that of store-bought evaporated milk.

5. Cool and store in the refrigerator. ❄️

   • Allow the homemade evaporated milk to cool to room temperature.
   • Transfer it to a clean, airtight container for storage.
   • Refrigerate the evaporated milk for up to 5 days. Make sure to give it a good shake before using it in your recipes.

Tips and Tricks:

• For a dairy-free version, you can use powdered coconut milk instead of powdered cow’s milk.
• To enhance the flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture.
• Use this homemade evaporated milk in place of store-bought evaporated milk in any recipe. It’s perfect for soups, sauces, desserts, and more!
