Let us know how it performs vs. the full fat stuff. What are you planning to use it in? WE WANNA REPORT.

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
the sweetness, I would have thought that the fat would be the least of
things to worry about.

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.

Not often, but occasionally I enjoy a bowl of fat free splinters.

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.
