evaporated milk

Canned shelf-stable cream

Evaporated milk is canned milk with about sixty percent of its water removed through heating.

It's shelf-stable, slightly caramelized in flavor, and richer than fresh milk.

Diluted with equal parts water, it substitutes for regular milk; undiluted, it adds creaminess to coffee, sauces, and desserts: The recipe calls for a can of evaporated milk.
