what can i do with condensed milk?

Question

i needed condensed milk for something a while back but now i have an excess of it. what simple dessert can i make of it?

Answer 1

Make carmel to use as a topping for desserts like ice cream:

Oven method; Pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk into 9 inch pie plate. Cover with foil; place in larger shallow pan. Fill larger pan with hot water. Bake at 425 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until thick and caramel colored. Beat until smooth.

Stovetop Method: Pour 1 can condensed milk into top of double boiler; place over boiling water. Over low heat, simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until thick and caramel colored. Beat until smooth.

Microwave Method: Pour 1 can condensed milk into 2 quart glass measure. cook on 50 % power (medium) for 4 minutes, stirring briskly every 2 minutes until smooth. cook on 30% power (medium-low) 12-18 minutes ot until very thick and caramel colored, stirring briskly every 2 minutes until smooth.

CAUTION; Never heat an unopened can of condensed milk as is sometimes recommended. There have been many cases of it exploding!

Answer 2

sweetened condensed milk is EXTREMELY sweet. It is used in cooking, making pies, sweets etc. It is not a "drink". It is very thick and sugary. It does taste good, but is not a drink. You may be thinking of regular condensed milk that is kinda like milk but highly concentrated and canned. This is also used for cooking. I love milk and would probably throw up if I had to drink this. You are much better off drinking fresh milk. Fresh milk is for human drinking consumption. The others.....I'd never be able to drink them and most other people wouldn't either.

The carmel recipes (above) -- sometimes called Dulce de Leche -- are terrific and you should definitely make it some time. It's awesome as a topping for ice cream, fruit, little dry cookies, in a layer cake, spread on your finger and licked off, eaten with a spoon. Heck, you could eat it on a pine cone and it would taste good.

Another yummerific idea is to just add condensed milk to very strong coffee. Drink hot or over ice. Many Vietnamese places serve this, and it's great.

Answer 4

I am so glad you asked this question. My favorite dessert to make with sweetened condensed milk are "Magic Cookie Bars" They are so good and addictive. My family and I love these. And whenever I make these the whole 13x9 pan is gone within 2 days. You have got to try this recipe. I also add a cup of white chocolate chips to this recipe. It makes it even better.
