Powdered Milk: 10 Surprising Things You Can Make With
12 Surprising Things You Can Make With Powdered Milk. Powdered milk, also called dry milk, is made by removing the moisture from regular milk, turning it into a powder ( 1 , 2). Due to its low moisture content, powdered milk doesn’t have to be refrigerated and has a much longer shelf life than liquid milk.
Evaporated Milk
Evaporated milk is similar to sweetened condensed milk, but it is a bit thinner and isn’t sweetened with sugar. It’s great for making thick, creamy sauces. To make your own evaporated milk, pour 1 1/2 cups of water into your blender. Add 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of powdered milk, and blend until it’s smooth.
Yogurt
Making homemade greek yogurt sounds like a pretty advanced project, but it’s actually easier than you’d think! Try out my foolproof method for yourself.
Hot Chocolate
Powdered milk is one of the key ingredients in my family’s very favorite hot chocolate mix. I usually mix up a big batch of it when it starts getting cold in the fall, and then we can enjoy it all winter long.
Curds
Bring 1 part powdered milk and 2 parts water to a boil. Remove from heat, and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of white vinegar for each cup of water you used. Stir the mixture lightly and let it stand until it separates. Line a sieve with layers of cheesecloth, and pour the mixture through to strain out the liquid. Finally, rinse the curds in cold water.
Milk Bath
In addition to the culinary uses for powdered milk, you can actually incorporate it into your beauty routine as well! One of my favorite ways to use powdered milk is in a relaxing milk bath. The practice of taking milk baths can be traced back as far as ancient Egypt. It’s said that Cleopatra took milk baths for the same reasons we still do today – to slough off dead skin cells and reveal smooth, soft, and hydrated skin.
Ricotta
To make your own homemade ricotta, start by following the directions to make curds (see above) and then simply blend or whip the curds until they achieve a smoother, creamy texture. Add your favorite herbs or spices, if you like, and serve with bread or crackers as a party snack.
