This is the best sweetened condensed milk I have used. It is coming upon the holidays, and time for those luscious desserts. A friend told me about the mistake she made when making a pumpkin pie. Instead of evaporated milk, she used sweetened condensed milk, and the family loved it so much, she has continued using it. I tried it, and I so agree. I will leave the recipe I use:
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp fresh ginger, crushed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Heat the pumpkin, sugars, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and spices in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-heat, until the mixture begins to sputter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until smooth and glossy.
Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the condensed milk, whisking until completely combined. Whisk in the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, whisking until completely combined after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Pour the filling into the pie shell.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges of the filling are just starting to set. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F, and bake for another 25-35 minutes, until the filling is mostly set (the center will still be slightly jiggly). Cover just the crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield, as needed, if the crust starts to brown too quickly. The filling may bubble and puff up slightly as it cooks – that’s okay, it will settle as it cools.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 hours until completely set. The pie filling will continue cooking through residual heat. Garnish with fresh whipped cream and serve chilled or at room-temperature. Best eaten the day of, but will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
