Just wanted to mention this product since we can easily access it here in Canada.

Info found about this cream:

" Carnation makes a canned thick cream that's very versatile! It has a 25% milk fat content, so it's a "light cream"...this can be stocked in your pantry and you need never be out when you need to make a white sauce, a cream gravy, a smooth soup, or a quick pour-over for fresh berries.

For sweet condensed milk take two cans (each contains about 3/4 cup) and heat them with a mixture of Splenda and Diabetisweet until it is reduced by about 30% and is quite thick. This worked really well and baked beautifully into a pumpkin pie. We also melted a bar of low-carb dark chocolate and blended it into a bit of the canned thick cream. It made a lovely frosting.

Each can contains about 5 grams of carbs and contains only sterilized cream and sodium citrate. It's a product of Holland; distributed chiefly in Canada and can be found there in nearly all groceries. "

Thanks, Bonnie. You wouldn't happen to be familiar with Danish Thick Cream would you? This sounds like it might be quite similar. I am going to go scour the grocery stores tonight.

Nat

Bonnie, jus wondering how much sweetener you used for the two cans of thick cream to make the sweetened condensed milk.
thanks!

Sorry Nat,

Even checked with hubby whose Mom was of Danish origin but we have no info on Danish Thick Cream...



Bonnie

Ophelia,

Found this info about the Carnation Thick Cream on the net... I would suggest you go by taste adding a little of the combo of Splenda and Diabetisweet at a time until you reach the correct degree of sweetness for you personally..

Bonnie

Thanks, Bonnie. I'm thinking Holland, Danish, cream, thick.... it HAS to be the same thing. From what I've been told this stuff isn't sweetened either.

I won't rest until I figure it out!

Nat

Bingo. It's the same thing. Bought some last night at loblaws.

Thx again

Nat

Glad to hear that Nat...now we both know..



Bonnie
