Am I the only one who can just eat it on its own with a spoon? lol I know it sounds like the perfect cause of diabetes but seriously YUM.

No, I don't eat it out of a tin, but I do use it in the most scrumptious flapjacks ever!

Lovely in a sandwich!
Leave an unopened can in the freezer for a few days and you can almost slice the contents when opened.
No need for butter.

Carnation milk.

The Magical ingredient for thee deliciously simple desserts.

The thick canned sweetened milk which you could eat with a spoon used to called Fussell's, whereas Carnation was fairly thin.

I assume things have changed ?

I've never had one, but in Spain they have cafe con leche condensada. I don't normally like sweet coffee but for some reason condensed milk and espresso sounds wonderful to me.

Can you not get the same results by boiling a tin of condenced milk?
Sure i've seen that done - or is that to make toffee/caramel?

Ah, yes. I'm sure I've seen recipes for banoffee pie that call for boiling a tin of condensed milk.

Cafe con leche condenada is literally just coffee with condensed milk- straight from the can. Apparently they also call the drink a 'cafe bombon'.

Nope.

Just yellowpark not knowing the difference between condensed milk and evaporated milk.

I remember being a little girl and going to my friends house. Her dad used to eat a big doorstep of bread spread with fussells condensed milk and then covered in a layer of sugar.

Luckily the homemade sweet stall at the local market sells it and it's available from sellers on Amazon.
