Evaporated milk is concentrated. Will be more carbs than regular milk.
Is there something you could use with gelatin. I am not familiar with
key lime pie etc that I hear Americans talk about. Sugar free pudding
flavoured with the lime and less liquid to cover the addition of lime
juice? Condensed milk has a weird taste IMO. My nan used to use it to
make ice cream back in the day. I remember my eldest daughter had
evaporated milk as baby for a while on the advice of a clinic sister.
She had a horrid odour come out through her pores while she was on it.
