Recipe Notes
What is the difference between evaporated milk and condensed milk?
The main difference between evaporated milk and condensed milk is that evaporated milk is unsweetened while condensed milk is sweetened. Evaporated milk is simply fresh milk that’s been heated until about 60 percent of its water content has evaporated. (resource)
Can I use margarine instead of butter in the recipe?
The short answer is yes!
Can they be used interchangeably? Yes, butter and margarine can usually be substituted for one another. If they can’t the recipe will say so. You’ll also want to be cautious about slight texture and taste changes, as mentioned above if you decide to substitute. (resource)
