Don't fret, Betty Crocker. Finding the perfect evaporated milk substitute is easier than you think. Photo: Danielle Daly We've all been there. You're one step away from making decadent mac and cheese for dinner when you find that the recipe calls for evaporated milk. Your stomach sinks as you head to the pantry and see the inevitable: You're completely out. Rather than giving up on your recipe altogether or making a run for the grocery store, use a baking substitution by swapping in one of these evaporated milk substitutes. DIY Evaporated MilkEvaporated milk is different than condensed milk, and the condensed version doesn't make a great substitute. However, you can make you're own evaporated milk at home. Make evaporated milk by heating 2 ¼ cups of regular milk and gently boiling it down until it reduces to 1 cup. This exact method is used to make evaporated milk for commercial retail. Evaporated milk is most commonly made with 2 percent milk, but whole milk, 1 percent, or skim will also work. You can also follow this process using dairy-free milk like soy, almond, or oat milk. Half-and-HalfIf you're under a super tight deadline, you may substitute the same amount of half-and-half for evaporated milk (i.e., 1 cup of half-and-half for 1 cup of evaporated milk). While you won't get the same slightly caramelized flavor that evaporated milk has, the creamy consistency of half-and-half is a close mimic. Heavy CreamWith its very similar consistency, 1 cup of heavy cream can replace 1 cup of evaporated milk in sweet and savory dishes. While the flavor will be blander than evaporated milk's unique caramelized tones, the texture will be noticeably richer. It's not the lowest fat option, but there are times when we'll do whatever it takes to avoid last-minute baking stress. Powdered MilkPowdered Milk is a preserved milk product that is made by evaporating and spray drying regular milk. The result is a long-lasting, nutritious milk substitute. You can create evaporated milk by mixing 1 cup of powdered milk with 1 ½ cups of warm water; stir until the powdered milk has dissolved completely. The water will thicken enough to resemble the same product as what's inside that classic 12-ounce can. Dairy-Free Evaporated MilkDairy-free cooks don't have to be deprived of the luscious, rich flavor and consistency that comes from evaporated milk. Nature's Charm is a producer of plant-based ingredients that include evaporated coconut milk. Nestle Carnation, the most well-known maker of evaporated milk, created a dairy-free almond cooking milk that also serves as the perfect substitute for evaporated milk. Lactose-Free Evaporated MilkNestle Carnation designed lactose-free evaporated milk from milk, lactase, and a small handful of other additives. WarningNone of these options is a picture-perfect substitute for evaporated milk, so expect some variation in your finished recipes.

It was definitely not creamy at all, and a bit bland - and I used sharp cheese. I might try a variation with a bechamel, maybe sour cream and a sharper cheese and a crunchy topping. Maybe even more of the seasoned salt would help. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3.0 stars 01/14/2020 Way too much cheese. At least 8oz of cheddar should be eliminated. Half of the butter in the noodles would suffice also. Use pepper jack instead of plain.

My grandmother always used butter,can evaporated milk, eggs, salt, black pepper sharp,and mild cheese with one can of cream cheddar cheese the best Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/02/2019 I’ve tried many macaroni & Cheeses recipes over the years. This one is the Only Recipe I will use from now on! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/21/2019 rlly sexyand cool thank martha i stan u : )))) Advertisement Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/16/2018 THIS recipe has become a much-demanded classic here on my farm; best Mac n Cheese recipe EVER~!! Just one problem: The original "John Legend Mac n' Cheese" recipe included John Legend's recipe for his Seasoning Salt, which I've been using for years to make my own Seasoning Salt. I lost it & haven't been able to find it again. That part of the original recipe is omitted here on Martha's website. :( PLEASE advise where I can find it! THANX~ Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/22/2018 I have made this several times now. I substitute gluten free penne noodles for the regular elbow macaroni. I also omit the paprika. The first time I made it I made no modifications other than the GF noodles. Since then I have played with the recipe a little each time, using different cheeses, and substituting the skim milk for half/half. It is always delicious and a crowd pleaser. John Legend surely has a legend with this dish! Yummy yummy yummy! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 10/15/2018 This mac and cheese was pretty good. I also tasted notes of sweetness and I did not use sweetened condensed milk as others have suggested. In the future I may try with just one can of evaporated milk or replacing it all together with half and half or heavy cream. I would also suggest seasoning the pasta layers directly with salt and pepper rather than putting it in the liquid. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/11/2018 I am not a fan of thick, southern style mac and cheese. I find it heavy and filling, I prefer creamy. This is definitely southern style. As southern recipes go, this is a good one. If I did like thicker mac and cheese, this would be a regular in my recipe box. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/19/2018 I love this Mac cheese. I made last for dinner with collard and BBQ ribs perfect. Yum Martha Stewart Member
Rating: 5 stars 03/26/2018 Great recipe. The only thing I will do next time is double the milk. I made it ahead of time and while juicy, it could have used a little more fluid Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/11/2018 It was delicious! I added different cheeses and added bread crumbs for a more crispy textured topping. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/19/2017 This recipe was delicious!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/19/2017 This recipe was delicious!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/23/2017 I make this recipe for large groups (double the recipe) all the time and it is a huge crowd-pleaser. My kids love it and have learned to make it for their own holiday gathering. Try this and your kids will love it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/01/2017 By far the best macaroni and cheese recipe I've tried. Normally I follow the recipe exactly. But once in a while I add whatever cheeses I have on hand. Still comes out great! Family favorite for sure. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/05/2017 Please make it possible for us to print recipes with a button Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/09/2017 This is very much like my mom's macaroni and cheese recipe. I am lucky enough to have one of her old cookbooks with this recipe written in Mama's hand inside the front cover. We still have that on special occasions when the family is all gathered and it's always a hit. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/16/2016 Made this recipe for the 4th time this year and it was great. I halfed the recipe and it was the perfect size for a family of 4 adults with left overs for 2 lunches the next day. Served with candied yams, sauted kale, and ham. I think using freshly shredded cheese vs. the kind already shredded in the bag makes a difference. The bag kind seems to not be as creamy. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/06/2016 This is a great baked macaroni and cheese. They can usually be pretty dry, but this wasn't. It's not wet per se, but it's cheesy and buttery! A+ Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/23/2016 Can this be made one or even two days before, and then just re-heated in oven the morning of?
Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/11/2016 I have made this three times and it is always a hit! Can't be easier or tastier! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/14/2016 Bad recipe. I made this for the Girl Scout troops for the 1st time based on the reviews. It didn't taste bad but the presentation was not good. The milk curdled up so it did not look appetizing. How embarrassing. All ingredients were recently bought. I've had better Mac & Cheese made in crock pots! If someone knows why it curdled up, please let me know how to fix it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/04/2016 Thanks a million for this recipe! It is the BEST mac & cheese ever. I used plain sea salt instead of seasoned salt and it didn't materially affect the finished dish. Yummy, yummy yummy -- and it reheats really well. I make a full batch even though it is just my husband and I. The leftovers are wonderful. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/25/2015 Just made this with Christmas prime rib. It was outstanding! Best mac & cheese recipe ever. It turned out perfectly and was a great compliment to the rib roast. I will definitely keep this recipe. Thank you John Legend! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/26/2015 This mac and cheese is always a hit with the family! Sometimes I sub some different cheeses, but it's always a home run. If you like your m&c baked, you will not be disappointed with this! Thanks, John Legend! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/27/2014 This wonderful recipe needs an updated review! I've been searching for a few years for the perfect mac n cheese recipe that is more of a southern baked variety as opposed to a creamy variety (more like the kind I grew up with). I have to say I have finally found that perfect recipe! It got a thumbs up from the family and they're so happy I made a huge amount so there will be plenty to enjoy with the rest of the Thanksgiving leftovers. Thank you so much for this winning recipe! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/16/2014 Hands down the most incredible Mac n' Cheese I've ever had. I'm just learning how to cook and this was so easy. My entire family loved it and they're hard to please. They even wanted to take the leftovers home for later. Thank you for sharing! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/20/2014 This is the most amazing mac & cheese recipe ever! Being from the South and newly married, cooking is a BIG deal! This recipe is cheesy, creamy and oh-so-perfect! My husband loves it and can't go a holiday without it (I surprise him with it for regular suppers too!) and my stepchildren, who are THE pickiest eaters in the world, absolutely love this! I did make some changes, however, like using fat free evaporated milk and reduced fat cheese and it comes out fantastic! Thanks John and Martha Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/25/2013 I've been making this mac & cheese for several years now and the only complaint I've heard is "Why didn't you make more?" It is definitely a favorite with my family and friends! Thank you Martha and John Legend! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/23/2013 Absolutely delicious and relatively easy mac n' cheese recipe. I believe that there is an error in the ingredients though. Only 3 cups of macaroni?? That's completely crazy for three bags of cheese! I followed recipe to the tee the first time and it was cheesy overload (albeit yummy). I nearly doubled the pasta the next time and it was great and seemed like a more appropriate proportion. I do use shells instead of elbow macaroni but can't imagine that accounts for the difference. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/16/2013 Have made this recipe since first time I saw on the show. It is the best recipe for mac n cheese. I received raves each and every time I prepare it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/14/2013 This is the BEST recipe for us. I Love the smell when baking too. :) cb Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/05/2013 Loved it. My cheddar wasn't as sharp as I like, but that's my fault. I also didn't use the skim milk, I wanted to see how creamy it was first. Very easy to make. I will experiment with other cheeses as well, just out of curiosity Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/21/2012 I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I have made it dozens of times and I get so many requests for it. I like to assemble it the night before. That gives the liquid time to absorb into the noodles and I think it makes it taste even better. Lately I have been making this in the Crockpot, which makes it perfect for carry-ins (use a large one). I just assemble the night before and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/24/2012 If it turned out sweet, you may have used sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/08/2012 turned out really sweet, anyone else have that problem Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/03/2012 Sorry to say that I didn't get the same results that other reviewers enjoyed. It was just "eh." Not creamy. Ingredients separated. Flavor kind of bland. (I mixed it up the night before. Maybe that was the problem. But other reviewers tried that and it worked.) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/29/2012 Tasted delicious and was pretty easy to make! :-) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/12/2011 @sbarlowholmes. You might be cooking your cheese/milk at too high a temperature. I would amend the recipe with a bechamel sauce. Mix 2 tbsp butter +2 tbsp of flour in a saucepan over med heat till smooth. Then add milk 1/4 cup at a time and then the rest of the ingredients after that. The bechamel base should give your mac a smoother consistency, with less graininess and curdling. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/09/2011 Very good, but why does my cheese/milk curdle when it is cooking? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/12/2011 How many "realistic" servings does this recipe produce? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/20/2011 This is the best m& c.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/10/2011 99% of the recipe is fine... but after half a stick of butter, 2 cans evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, and a pound and a half of cheese... It's totally ridiculous to add 1/3 cup of skim milk. Gimme a break, Martha. 1/3 cup of water just as fine, as is 1/3 cup of whole milk, or 1/3 cup evaporvated milk, or 1/3 cup of 2%. Sheesh. Make your readers spend money on a 1/3 cup? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/31/2011 This is the best Mac and cheese! This will be my go to Mac and cheese!

I love it and don't really like baked mac and cheese. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/13/2010 Not what I thought it would be. But then again I should've read the whole recipe before I started making it. I like creamy sauce mac Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/05/2010 Very good recipe. I forgot the evap milk from the store, so I used 3.5 cups skim milk, 4 tbs all purpose flour adn otherwise followed recipe to a tee and it was perfect. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/24/2009 This recipe looks amazing but I was more intrigued by John Legend's more than able kitchen skills!

Just try to eat this and not smile! Can condensed milk be substituted for evaporated milk in mac and cheese?These items are essentially the same with one big difference: no sugar is added to evaporated milk. Sweetened condensed milk also has 60% of the water removed, but contains 40% sugar. Due to the big flavor difference, they cannot be substituted for each other.
What can I use to substitute evaporated milk in macaroni and cheese?There are a number of good dairy options for replacing evaporated milk, including regular milk, lactose-free milk, cream, half and half and powdered milk.
Can I use condensed milk rather than evaporated milk?Evaporated milk substitute: Condensed milk is highly sweet, so it should not be used as an evaporated milk substitute (especially if the recipe calls for mostly savory ingredients).
Can you use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk in fudge?Unfortunately, there is no substitute for it in a fudge recipe. While you can use evaporated milk in place of regular milk in many circumstances, the same is not true in reverse. Also, be sure you do not confuse evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk, as they are two entirely different products.
