Black & White Sweetened Condensed Filled Milk
What it is
This is a shelf-stable, sweetened dairy product. It is made by removing water from milk and then adding sugar. The 'filled' aspect means part of the milk fat has been replaced with vegetable oil. This process creates a thicker, sweeter, and richer liquid compared to regular evaporated milk. It is a common ingredient in many desserts and baked goods, providing sweetness and a creamy texture.

When a recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, this product can be used directly from the can. It is often incorporated into batters for cakes and cookies, or used as a base for custards and puddings. It can also be reduced further by simmering to create thicker caramel sauces or glazes. Its inherent sweetness means that additional sugar may not be needed in some recipes, or can be adjusted accordingly. Stir it well before measuring to ensure consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular evaporated milk, this product is already sweetened and significantly thicker due to the sugar content and the addition of vegetable oil.
