FAQs Q1: What is the difference between condensed milk and evaporated milk? Both are concentrated forms of cow's milk with water removed. Condensed milk is sweetened with added sugar, making it thick and sweet, while evaporated milk is unsweetened and has a creamy, slightly caramelized flavor, suitable for savory and sweet applications. Q2: How is condensed milk commonly used in cooking? Condensed milk is widely used in desserts such as fudge, toffee, cheesecake, key lime pie, Vietnamese iced coffee, and many traditional Asian and Middle Eastern sweets. It adds creaminess and sweetness in a single ingredient. Q3: Can I substitute evaporated milk for fresh milk in recipes? Yes, evaporated milk can be diluted with an equal amount of water to substitute for fresh milk in most recipes. Undiluted, it adds richness to soups, sauces, and baked goods due to its concentrated flavor and creaminess. Q4: Are there dairy-free alternatives to condensed or evaporated milk?
