mexican crema, evap. milk

[Husky_mom]

I just saw this....... they are about the same but the condensed one is more sweet...... at least here hehe

the evaporated is more like cream or regular milk and the condensed is used more like syrup over things and make them sweeter but can also be used as cream....... so both work well.........

now I am curious...is mexican crema more like our evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk?

edit: I googled it and found that it is not sweetened like our condensed milk - sounds to me sort of like a thinner yogurt? It also compares it to creme fraiche - we had that in Europe and I have not been able to duplicate it - yogurt is close.

it's not sweet, at least not to me. and it is very good, chilled over fresh strawberries. i can update after i try it on blueberries and raspberries. not good on watermelon tho...ah the things i do for PT*snicker*

evaporated you can add water and it´s just like milk and condensed..........yumm.........try this

frappe some ice place in glass add cold cappuccino and a scoop of ice cream then add some condensed milk and some.......... how do you call this??........ it´s goat milk but the kind that it´s brown and like syrup but not like maple syrup........ we call it "cajeta"........ and there you go that´s a treat...
