You may have had the pleasure of actually watching me make these pops a few weeks ago. If not, that means you don’t follow me on instagram and that’s something you should work on ASAP. (@theicescreamqueen)
If you did watch, thanks a bunch and also you’ll know we talked about the difference between evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Evaporated milk is essentially whole milk with most of the water content evaporated from it (hence why it’s slightly thicker than regular milk and like obviously the name and stuff too..).
Sweetened condensed milk is basically evaporated milk + sugar added to it (the word ‘sweetened’ kinda gives ya a hint there).
Don’t you wish everything could be that simple.
Stay tuned for 2 more recipes this week and stay screamin!
