no it isn't condensed milk is thick sticky goo and very sweet, ideal milk is is like thin cream

No, it's not the same at all.

NOooh! Here you go

"If you have a can of evaporated milk on hand, you can make a very good approximation of condensed milk. In a saucepan, combine a cup of evaporated milk with 1-1/4 cups of sugar. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool. You can refrigerate the mixture for several days."

whoops..Ideal milk is the name for evaporated milk we used to have when i was little I don't htink it still exists!!!

don't the supermarkets do condensed milk ..but it would probably be nestle anyway

There are other companies that make condensed milk. I can't remember the name I have seen but it began with 'F' I am sure.

Fussels. Bought out by Nestle

Following on from my substitute recipe...

"If you don't have evaporated milk on hand either, you can make your own by slowly simmering any quantity of milk in a pan until it reduced by 60%"

the co op have their own brand..might be worth checking or look in an asian food supermarket

woops!

I only know because the tin I have in the cupboard says "Nestle condensed milk ... formerly Fussles"

Or put it on your shopping list for next time you do a cruise to France. You can get non-Nestle condensed milk there.

In Germany, you can get condensed milk from Russia. Look in the foreign foods section of a big supermarket.
