Transform your baking and cooking with Urban Meadow Evaporated Milk, a versatile pantry staple that delivers rich, concentrated dairy flavor to countless recipes. This shelf-stable milk has had about 60% of its water content removed through gentle heating, resulting in a creamy, slightly caramelized product that's perfect for both sweet and savory applications.
Evaporated milk is a cornerstone ingredient in many cuisines around the world, from classic American pumpkin pie and tres leches cake in Latin American cooking to rich curries in Southeast Asian cuisine. Its concentrated nature makes it ideal for creating silky custards, creamy soups, and decadent desserts without the need for heavy cream. The slightly sweet, nutty flavor that develops during the evaporation process adds depth to coffee drinks, smoothies, and homemade ice cream. Unlike fresh milk, evaporated milk won't curdle when added to acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus, making it perfect for creamy pasta sauces and soups.
For best results in baking, substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in recipes to achieve richer, more tender results in cakes, muffins, and bread. It's also excellent for making homemade caramel sauce, fudge, and candy. Store unopened cans in your pantry for months, and once opened, refrigerate and use within a few days. Whether you're preparing a traditional pumpkin pie for the holidays or experimenting with international recipes, Urban Meadow Evaporated Milk provides the creamy consistency and enhanced flavor your dishes deserve.
