Dear Jamie, any idea how to substitute sweetened condensed milk? I am trying to make my own pareve (dairy free) Irish cream.
Thanks.
Shira, Baltimore MD

Mmmm, what a great idea! Shira, when you get this down pat, you’ll have to invite me over. Irish cream, folks, is a cream liqueur that can be served alone or mixed in other drinks. There are numerous recipes for this treat, but they all typically include Irish whiskey, cream, coffee, and sometimes sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk.

Sweetened condensed milk is just evaporated milk with sugar added. There are lots of recipes out there to make your own pareve version. I found 3 really creative recipes that were meant to be used in a 1:1 ratio for sweetened condensed milk in recipes. Go Dairy Free – click here! At least one of them should work well for you, Shira.

And check out this handy-dandy list I put together of other great kosher, pareve and when-you’re-in-a-pinch substitutions.

    Thanks for posting this. I eat as a vegan and my husband is a happy omnivore. We like to experiment with kosher versions of international recipes. Substitutions has become my middle name. It would be great if the new magazine and this site could regularly include veganized versions of kosher recipes or suggest substitutions right along with the main recipes. The new Substitution Bible by David Joachim is a great reference also.

    Ruchama – also not sure if you are aware – but we do have a vegan column in the mag “My Sweet Vegan” and we have 1-2 recipes per issue. Usually taking one of the main themes or features of the issue and turning it vegan. For example with the Shavuos issue we did a vegan all natural Mean Green Pistachio Ice Cream AND Whip Cream. We also have a column called “Recipe Remake” where we take your favorite classic recipe and turn it pareve, or healthy or vegan etc… You can submit your ideas for our recipe remake column here: http://joyof.kosher.com/2011/05/25/win-a-zoku-ice-pop-maker/

    Sheva – my pleasure – I can’t believe what excitement this Q&A is stirring. Thanks Shira for asking the Q and do tell what Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes are exactly and you’d better share the recipe on JoyofKosher.com!

    I was actually looking for a cholov yisroel version of sweetened condensed milk because I see a lot of recipes that I use it that I want to make, but we keep cholov yisroel. Any ideas?

    I would like to make this, but I guess I have been under the impression, wrongly I hope, that liquers and whiskeys etc are not kosher. Is there a specific label that is?

    Ilana – so I haven’t seen a cholov yisroel version of sweetened condensed milk but you can make your own using all cholov yisroel ingredients. One of the trickier ingredients called for in the recipe that may be hard to find is dry milk powder but I know Haddar makes a version as does my local supermarket in Monsey, Rockland Kosher. Not sure where you are located though… here is the recipe, enjoy! http://joyof.kosher.com/recipe/sweetened-condensed-milk/

    I have heard of people making cupcakes from some of the ingredients and decided to try my own. I am making it now, and if it turns out great then i will share it!
