    Hi noonesperfect,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas to help you use it up so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

    What can I do with the above? I bought two tins thinking that it was condensed milk which I could use to make fudge...tins are now staring at me every time I open my store cupboard....can I use it for fudge or to make ice-cream, can't see anyone here having it poured over fruit for pudding....just thought, could I use it in macaroni cheese??

    TIA

  • If I have spare evaporated milk I use it as part of the milk in a rice pudding. It makes it lovely and creamy.

    I have a fudge recipe that uses evap:

    1lb sugar
    3oz butter or marge
    1/4pt milk
    6oz can evap
    1/2tsp vanilla essence

    Put everything in a pan except the vanilla - heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil without stirring and boil to 116C (soft ball). Add vanilla off the heat and beat till creamy. Pour into greased 7 or 8" tin. Mark into squares after 5 mins.

    This is very good.

    I make fudge with evap, and mac cheese - whisk it with eggs, grated cheese, finely chopped or grated onion and cooked mac and bake til bubbling.

    I love custard made with evaporated milk. A childhood treat on a Sunday. Ahh the memories. :D
