    Hey Magpieno... sounds like you open the evap milk can with 1/4 of it's contents and boil it in water for 20 mins... My guess is that this will solidify the canned milk so it whisks-up nice. I'm regurging for clarity before I try this recipe... always looking for that great recipe and I have a prob with unsuccessful assumptions :/ Great Charlotte pic, by the way!

    Looks like a great recipe! I am also intrigued by the boiling of the canned milk. I guess that scares me a little. I always thought that cans would explode under the pressure of heat. Wow, I learn something everyday! Thanks, Deb
