Chef’s Secret

Evaporated milk can be whipped into a light, airy topping if chilled thoroughly beforehand.

Substitutions

Best Match

Evaporated Milk (other brands)

1:1

Direct substitute, identical in function and flavor.

Heavy Cream

1:1

Good for richness, but higher fat, needs to be reduced for thickness.

Whole Milk (reduced)

2:1 (milk:Milnot)

Needs to be simmered down to half its volume for similar consistency and richness.

Coconut Milk (full-fat)

1:1

Dairy-free alternative, adds coconut flavor, good for baking and curries.
