    How do you make the cheesecake with the evap milk, is there a recipe anywhere?, thanks!

    I crumble half a packet of digestives and mix with a spoonful of melted butter, press into loose bottom sandwich tin.

    Beat a tub of cream chesse until soft, add 2 tbsp caster sugar, splash of vanilla extract and half a tin of evaporated milk. Mix well. Dissolve a packet of gelatine in hot water and trickle 3/4 of it into cheesey mixture. Pour over biscuit base and allow to set.

    Drain a tin of mandarins (reserve the juice) and use fruit to decorate top of cheesecake. Heat the juice in a small pan and sugar to taste. Add remaining gelatine to juice and pour over the fruit.

    Chill and serve with loads of fresh cream :drool:

    This is nice if you use ginger biscuits for the base, omit the vanilla and swirl some lemon curd through the cheese mix instead, but don't mix it too thoroughly so that it looks "marbley".

    Evaporated milk is nice poured on bananas with ice cream, makes a nice dessert. Also it can be used to make a chocolate fudge icing for a chocolate cake and I have also used it in rice pudding. It is also nice in coffee.

    I have half a tin of evaporated milk left in my fridge. What can I do with it?
    My mum used to make a mouse type thing with jelly, but when I tried it the bubbles disappeared. Any ideas what I did wrong?
    TIA

    Bizzimum no idea what could have went wrong sorry...

    We grew up using Carnation Evaporated milk instead of cows milk for our tea or coffee. My Mom still uses it to this day and always has a half open tin in the fridge.

    Gosh I think I even used it as a standby for the childrens milk bottles, watered down of course. Was this a recomendation? Dont think it would be these days !!

    I also used it coffee,not in tea.

    Did you whisk long and hard ? I made that last year and it was just as bad as I remembered it (sorry mum, never did like it!!!). The others liked it though!! Retro pud I called it!!

    Had it on tinned fruit too.
