If you’ve ever wanted to know the difference between the two and when you can substitute one for the other, you’ve come to the right place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a whole, the primary difference between condensed milk and evaporated milk is sugar. Condensed milk will have a considerable amount of sugar added to it, while evaporated milk does not have any added sugar. Condensed milk is much richer and somewhat thicker than evaporated milk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here I’ll explain the differences between the two, as well as a few other tips to remember when using them in your home recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon first glance, evaporated milk and condensed milk look quite similar. Just judging from the can you’d expect that they’d be interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, once you open them up and compare them side-by-side, you’ll notice right away that there are some very obvious differences.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, evaporated milk will seem lighter in color. Evaporated milk is typically white, however, slightly darker than regular milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is likely due to the fact that most of the water has been removed during processing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Condensed milk is darker, often appearing more yellow or even slightly beige.<\/em> While condensed milk has the same amount of water removed during processing, sugar is added in order to give it a sweet<\/strong>, creamy taste. This sugar will cause the milk to darken slightly, giving it that characteristic hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is The Difference Between Condensed Milk And Evaporated Milk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
