Evaporated Milk

I spent all of Saturday baking lots of yummy treats for us (me, oh and daughter) One of the recipes called for Evaporated Milk but I bought a large can and still have 3/4 of it left!

It's not something that I know much about and have no idea how to use it. Any ideas?

I have quite a few store cupboard ingredients if you can think of anything to do with it?

    Hi melt71,
    Apart from drinking it from the can(yum yum),what about making a jelly fluff,just replace some of the liquid from a jelly with the evap.milk and whisk up until fluffy,leave to set,then enjoy.

    Whip up the evaporated milk until its doubled in size, melt a jelly in a little water and then whisk the jelly into the evap milk....... pour into a large bowl or inddividual dishes, mousse......

    Use half milk and half water and nake rice pudding, or use to make custard with custard powder, I never make it any other way........

    Use it instead of ordinary milk in a rice pudding - yummy! :drool:

    I haven't got a clue what Gypsy Tart is (I'm not a very experienced cook although I'm getting a lot better)

    As for rice pudding I haven't got the correct rice for this, only savory rice. But thanks anyway. I'll bear it in mind for next time.

    I never have pudding rice, so just make mine with long grain. Tastes just the same to me - but then, I'm a philistine :)
