I think that I read or heard somewhere that sauces will break if not
using full fat milk. Has anyone else heard or experienced this?

I don't mean to start a flame war, but what reason is there not to use a
full-fat milk product?

Heh. I haven't thought ahead that far yet. If I do find a lower fat
version, I might be persuaded to attempt making a Tres Leches cake...
which is something I've wanted to try - but they are so darned rich!

Yes. I used a fat free sour cream in a sauce and it turned to something like splinters.

Is this to make a dessert? Like pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving?
Unless you use something like that often, you should stick to the full
fat version, imo. If it's only an occasional holiday dessert, I'd go
for full flavor. You might get by with the low fat but the non-fat
will definitely leave you with a loss of flavor/quality.

I won't argue about condensed milk but, after many years using non-fat
or skim milk on my cereal, I can drink such milk without nausea while
regular full-fat milk tastes unpleasant. However, even non-fat milk is
much improved if I drink it with something sweet.

I don't even drink milk, anymore. If a want a moo-juice facsimile, I
buy almond milk. Better than soy milk, which is horrible. 8P

I had never seen anything but plain old sweetened condensed milk. given

I don't have that experience with fat free sour cream, but I use it to
finish a flour based gravy not as the only ingredient.

I sincerely doubt that with a dessert. Sweetened condensed milk adds
sugar, not flavor. I can't think of anything that I would be missing
from coconut macaroons, bar cookies, key lime pie, tres leches cake or
even Thai tea if I used the low or no fat version.

Really? You don't have Pet milk in Canada?

Wait, there's a Stan Rogers lyric that talks about a ranch
wife pouring "Carnation from the can", IIRC into her coffee.
I'm pretty sure that means regular evaporated milk.

Plus, lots of people say "condensed" when they mean "evaporated". It's
usually easy to tell from context what the mean.

I don't think we do. We have Carnation evaporated milk. I Googled it
and found Pet Evaportated milk.

Yep.... evaporated milk.

I can't speak for those who may be confused. Evaporated milk in my
world is condensed only in that it has had a lot of the water removed
from it to make is shelf stable, weigh less and take up less space. Some
people like it in coffee. I have no use for it myself.

Condensed milk is an entirely different product, something very rich and
creamy and used in cooking.

Yes, the addition of a teaspoon or so of plain flour or gram flour makes
fat-free sour cream or yoghurt work quite well. You don't want to boil
the sauce but simmering is fine. I resent those Indian cooks who say
"Don't use fat-free"; they obviously have never tried flour.

That sounds ugly. I guess I'll skip the fat-free sour cream for a
sauce. Thanks

I agree. I don't use much dairy anymore and for any milk needed I usually use coconut milk instead of soy. Soy milk is terrible tasting and not very good for you IMHO.

I knew but haven't bought that stuff for years. I always kept a can when
Angela was little in case we ran out of milk. But now I can get shelf
stable milk so no need.

That takes me back to my student days 50 yrs ago (gasp!). During the winter
months, we'd keep the opened can of condensed milk (bought for out 11pm
coffee sessions) on the window sill. After a day or two, a crust would
form - delicious!!!

Perhaps she meant evaporated milk which is what I assumed that she meant.
The same but no sweetener.

AFAIK I never had full fat milk although I have bought small amounts of it
over the years for various recipes. Growing up, we only ever had 2% or
powdered which I think was either skim or non-fat. My one grandma did have
a cow or two and did use the resulting products but I don't remember ever
having milk at her house. Did have ice cream and butter though. So when
you are used to having the lower fat stuff, the real stuff can be quite a
shock to the system.

My 5th grade class went to a camp and we were served cold cereal with real
cream. I found the cream to be so vile, I wanted to cry. Whereas the other
kids were excited about it because they never got cream at home. I wound up
eating my cereal dry which is how if I eat it now (which would be rarely), I
eat it.

I use rice milk occasionally for various things. But it is high in carbs so
I try not to use it often. I would use hemp milk but husband is against the
use of hemp products because they could show up in a negative way on a drug
test.

Most of the time I find that water is a good sub for milk. I make my mashed
potatoes that way. I do add a little extra Nucoa, salt and pepper for
flavor. And they are even better with caramelized onions!

We've wandered off the OP here. I frequently use fat-free or thereabouts
condensed milk. Calories and fat are of a concern to us. Pudding - lemon,
chocolate and banana - do just as well with fat-free condensed milk. May
even try it with a butterscotch / praline. This year's pecans are grander
than ever. Polly

That's interesting... I haven't used that stuff to even think about
putting it outside on a windowsill, ever... but I've put cheap wine
out there when I was in college. Does that count?

Nope. My bad. Twas evaporated that I bought and not sweetened, condensed.
I only used that for candy. But I wouldn't use low or no fat.

There's a guy here that makes a soy milk custard at his restaurant that
doesn't have a beany, hay-like, taste. It looks and tastes like the
freshest cream. It's the only dessert that I order at his Chinese
restaurant. As far as I know, nobody else makes this dessert. I've asked
him about it but have learned zero. Making soy milk not taste like soy
milk has got to be the greatest trick in the world.

Crusty milk. Interesting. Mexican cooks would boil the cans in water for
a few hours to make a caramel sauce. This only works for condensed milk,
not evaporated milk!

Evaporated milk is an important ingredient in Chinese custard pie.
Evidently, you can't make it with plain old regular milk.

I've never made praline, but it's delicious. Do you have a favorite
recipe you can post or post a link to? Don't bother if you have to
type it out, but you can always scan the page and post a link to the
image if it's in a book.

They didn't have the low-fat version, but they did have no-fat - so I
bought that. Now I'm wavering between coconut macaroons (because I
have a lot of shredded coconut on hand) or Polly's pralines. Either
one will be out for hubby due to the sugar content, so I might need to
rethink my plan.

Yes, true fresh soy milk is quite good. I usta get it at Viet
takeouts where I bought my banh mi's. It would come in little chilled
10oz plastic bottles, like an OJ bottle, and were excellent. They
also usta have pennywort juice, which had tapioca-like seed balls in
'em. Gaggingly sweet, but somehow tasty. I so miss Viet restos.
