Evaporated Milk

Evaporated milk is a dairy product where about 60% of the water content has been removed from fresh milk, resulting in a dense, creamy liquid. This concentration process enhances its flavor, giving it a slightly caramelized, sweet taste that enriches baked goods. In baking, evaporated milk contributes moisture, richness, and tenderness, making it ideal for cakes, breads, and pastries. Its stable structure under heat makes it a versatile substitute for fresh milk or cream, adding depth without altering the overall texture.
