How much evaporated milk = one cup of milk?

Question

Making hot chocolate and have a can of evaporated milk left over from baking a pie, and want to use it to make hot cocoa, help?

Answer 1

This canned, unsweetened milk is fresh, homogenized milk from which 60 percent of the water has been removed. Vitamin D is added for extra nutritional value. It comes in whole, lowfat and skim forms; the whole-milk version must contain at least 7.9 percent milk fat, the lowfat has about half that and the skim version 1⁄2 percent or less. As it comes from the can, evaporated milk is used to enrich custards or add a creamy texture to many dishes. When mixed with an equal amount of water, it can be substituted for fresh milk in recipes. Evaporated milk is less expensive than fresh milk and is therefore popular for many cooked dishes. It has a slightly caramelized, "canned" flavor that is not appreciated by all who taste it. Canned milk can be stored at room temperature until opened, after which it must be tightly covered and refrigerated for no more than a week. When slightly frozen, evaporated milk can be whipped and used as an inexpensive substitute for whipped cream.

So you see you need to add over half water to make reg milk.

Answer 3

I've done this before too when I needed regular milk. I think I just used water. You add however much water that you have for evaporated milk. So that it's equal parts. Then use 8 oz of that mixture in place of milk.

Answer 5

Evaporated milk is much thicker and it's rich. So, I wouldn't use regular milk. Also, the consistency of fudge as well as the flavor will be different. The only substitute I would use would be half & half, or heavy whipping cream.
