Thanks for posting. Like many others, I found myself making something that called for sweetened condensed milk only to find I didn't have any. This was quick, easy, and tastes great. Like andypandy, I made Iced Coffee with the Eagle Brand, and I think I would actually like it better with recipe.

I agree with MommyMakes, this is far more superior in looks and taste to the one made with powdered milk. I used the 14 ounce can full fat evaporated milk with 1 7/8 cup white sugar, and I did cook it four or five minutes. Don't overcook as it will taste like brown sugar caramel flavour, which I did, but worked in my recipes just fine. leftovers in the fridge thickened upon cooling. I used this in Rice Pudding in a Rice Cooker and Iced Coffee Worked out cheaper than Eagle Brand and just as good.

This tastes pretty close. Be sure not to overcook. The first time I did it I cooked it until it was caramel. If you cook it to caramel you can still savalge it. Just add milk and heat it.

Genius! This was exactly lilke the expensive cans you buy at the store. I used Splenda sugar blend and worked perfectly.
