Ingredients
12ouncecan of evaporated milk
1/2-3/4cupconfectioner's sugar
1teaspoonvanilla
Instructions
Place the can of evaporated milk in the freezer for 30 minutes (use a timer so you don't forget!). While that is getting cold, place your mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in the refrigerator or freezer as well.
12 ounce can of evaporated milk
Pour the chilled evaporated milk into the mixing bowl and beat at high speed for 1 minute, or until foamy. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat again for about two minutes, or until thick and creamy.
1/2-3/4 cup confectioner's sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Serve immediately.
Note: This is great on top of desserts, fruit salads, pies, custards, etc. However, this has to be served as soon as it is made as it won't hold up for more than thirty minutes or so, but check the notes section for how you can make it last a bit longer.
Notes
To stabilize the end result and have it last a bit longer in the fridge, you can add 1 tsp of flavored Jell-O or unflavored gelatin. Dissolve that in hot water. Chill in the fridge until slightly thickened and then add to chilled evaporated milk and beat away :)
