Apparently all evaporated milk is unsweetened,, the condensed milk is the sweetened one. Thats the main difference between the two. Never knew that so thanks for prompting me looking it up.Dam...ok thanks...is that the unsweetened one?
Then again...it might sound 'little' high...but depending of the portion size in finished thing..it might not work out that 'bad' per portion!?Looks like its about 12% carbs according to the waitrose website so that's an avoid for me..
Hi...its just a sachet of sugar free jelly strawberry or raspberry. Then mix in a tin of the milk with a handful of berries and set. It makes 6 to 8 portions.What's the carbs? Natural sugars in evaporated milk will by nature be concentrated as the name suggests it is milk that the liquid has been evaporated from to leave fats sugars etc behind - personally I would leave it alone and use something like cream or creme fresh
What's the recipe? Maybe we can help suggest an alternative - if it's the one making jelly with the milk it works just as well with cream and creme fresh
Cream or even yogurt will work fine with that - just make sure your jelly is cool before adding - jelly is just a flavoured setting agent so pretty much anything can be added - except pineapple that has an enzyme that prevents setting. - make and enjoy!Hi...its just a sachet of sugar free jelly strawberry or raspberry.
