Desperately seeking SCM in a tube

Submitted by Barb on Sat, 01/22/2005 - 22:00

Now that we are completely hooked on Vietnamese coffee, I find that we will have leftover sweetened condensed milk that we can't use up before it goes bad.  An Australian friend once told me about SCM in a squeeze tube and I am in search of some.  If any one out there knows where we can buy some locally, please leave a comment.

I've heard of people freezing SCM in ice cube trays. SCM freezes better than regular evaporated milk cuz there's less water content. IKEA had these rubberized ice cube trays for kids that had different patterns like stars and animals ....

I once got a tube in Hong Kong, but it was 3 or 4 times more expensive than the canned one. What I do now is to put the canned one into those ketchup/mustard bottles and squeeze them. It never turns bad!

I've never had a problem with it going bad; I just pop the lid on and store it in the fridge. Perhaps it was left out too long one day?

Can't say as I've ever had a problem with having left-over condensed milk!! Hmmm. I used to be bought a can for my birthday, and would enjoy eating it by the spoonful. Very sweet, very sticky and of course, very sickly!! :-) The coffee sounds great btw.
