Of course, the basic answer is yes - you can substitute evaporated milk for coffee creamer but I am wondering why you would want to do this..
- The total cost will probably (from research on the Internet) is about the same.
- Is evaporated milk better for you "health wise"?
- There is some controversy about that but mainly because both have saturated fat that everyone is trying to eliminate from their diet.
- Here are a quote from a "Nutritionists".
- Is evaporated milk good for you?
- Because canned milk is condensed or evaporated, this is far more than the 146 calories per cup in regular whole milk. ... Most of the fat in canned milk derives from saturated fat, an unhealthy variety of fat that may result in clogged arteries if you consume too much.
- Here is a basic recipe for using evaporated milk to make coffee creamer substitute:
- 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk
- 18-oz of milk (you can also use 1/2 and 1/2 if you want a thicker consistency)
- 1-tbsp vanilla extract (the cheap stuff will do, I cant taste a difference)
- Add 2 tablespoons of your choice of flavoring.
