Ingredients

Dairy Products

  • 1 can leite condensado tradicional (8% gordura)
  • 1 can leite condensado sem lactose (8% gordura)

Instructions 

  • Verify the lactose-free condensed milk is within the expiration date and stored properly.
  • Use and consume the darker-colored lactose-free condensed milk, as color variation is normal due to production methods.
  • Understand that darker color and flavor are caused by the Maillard reaction.
  • The Maillard reaction occurs between sugars and proteins, producing color compounds.
  • Production method and storage time influence the color of lactose-free condensed milk.
  • Store in cool temperatures to slow the Maillard reaction.
  • Note that lactose-free products typically have a shorter shelf life than regular versions.

Notes

Keep lactose-free condensed milk refrigerated and use promptly after opening.
