Tag: Fat free evaporated milk

Evaporated milk is essentially regular milk that has had about 60% of its water removed through a heating and condensing process. Because of this significant concentration, simply swapping fat-free evaporated milk for regular milk is not a straightforward, one-to-one substitution and requires careful consideration of the recipe's needs.

Despite its concentrated nature, fat-free evaporated milk is not intensely sweet, unlike its sugary counterpart. The canning process concentrates the milk's natural lactose, resulting in a mildly sweet, slightly caramelized flavor profile perfect for both sweet and savory recipes.
