What is condensed milk?
Condensed milk is a type of milk that has been evaporated to remove most of the water, making it thicker and creamier. Sugar is often added to give it a rich taste and natural sweetness, making it an ideal ingredient for desserts and drinks.
The most important properties of condensed milk:
- Consistency: Thick and dense.
- Flavor: Rich and sweet, suitable for foods and drinks.
- Shelf life: It has a long shelf life thanks to its high sugar content.
- Uses: It is used in preparing desserts (such as cakes and pudding) and drinks (such as custard and Karak tea).
The difference between sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk:
- Sweetened condensed milk: Contains sugar, making it suitable for sweet dishes.
- Evaporated Milk: Contains no sugar and is used in both savory and sweet dishes.
Nestle condensed milk is one of the most famous brands that offer this type of milk, and it is considered an ideal choice for lovers of quality and rich taste.
