Sounds good. I received this email in a newsletter a few months back with a recipe but have not tried it yet.

Whipped Cream With Canned Evaporated Milk

Ingredients

• 12 ounce can evaporated milk
• 1/2-3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Place can of milk in freezer for thirty minutes (use a timer so you don't forget!). While that is getting cold, place mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in refrigerator or freezer as well.
2. Pour chilled evaporated milk into 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.
3. 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.

this is exactly what I grew up eating on pies and desserts! My mom would put small cans of milk in the freezer before dinner...if I saw the canned milk in there, I knew we would be having something extra special for dessert! I don't recall her using as much powdered sugar as this recipe however. I remember eating this on banana pudding, fruit, jello, etc.
