Can I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk for fudge?

It is more stable than regular milk and it can be cooked at high temperatures without curdling, a real benefit to fudge. Unfortunately, there is no substitute for it in a fudge recipe. Also, be sure you do not confuse evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk, as they are two entirely different products.

How do you make fudge harder?

Use powdered sugar. Instead of adding evaporated milk, add some powdered sugar and remix your fudge batter. The powdered sugar can help the fudge set and harden if it is resistant to doing so. Add a mixture of water and cornstarch.

Is evaporated milk the same as heavy cream?

Evaporated Milk Evaporated milk is a canned, shelf-stable milk product with about 60% less water than regular milk. Evaporated milk is best for recipes in which heavy cream is a liquid ingredient, such as in baked goods, since it will not provide the same thickness as heavy cream and does not whip as well.

How do you make fudge creamy not grainy?

A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. Stirring would help sucrose molecules “find” one another and start forming crystals.

Is condensed milk the same as evaporated milk?

Evaporated milk is sweetened condensed milk without any added sugar. Both these shelf-stable products are made with milk that’s had about 60 percent of its water removed, with sweetened condensed milk being—you guessed it—sweetened.

What can you substitute for evaporated milk in Fudge?

The almond milk makes for a creamy milk substitute, but you cannot taste the almonds in the final product. I like to use sweetened vanilla almond milk when making dairy-free desserts. And I have found that almond milk works really well as a substitute for evaporated milk in fudge recipes.
