Sorry for the late post. We had some unexpected things come up this weekend. As you can see we’re going to have a BBQ Spectacular for the month of June. I hope you’re all as excited as I am to learn about making some great summer meals with food storage along with some great family activity ideas! We’ll be covering more on milk later…things like making your own yogurt, fat-free frosting (thanks Julie!!), plus more to do with white sauces and cream soups using your magic mix (although, feel free to try it on your own and let me know how it goes!).
Here are a couple of desserts I topped with the whipped topping made from powdered milk. It was very delicious. You would like it if you like the flavor of tapioca pudding. I was glad to have any left once I realized how great it tasted with strawberries dipped in it!
Whipped Topping
3 1/2 T. Dry Powdered Milk
1 C. Boiling Water
2 T. Cold Water
2 t. Unflavored Gelatin
4 T. Sugar
1 t. Vanilla
Dissolve dry milk in boiling water (I just stick my Pyrex in the microwave with the water for a couple of minutes until it boils). Soak the gelatin in cold water. Combine the dissolved gelatin and sugar with your hot milk and stir. Chill in fridge until it jells. Beat the mixture until it acquires the consistency you would like. You may need to add a little water as you are beating for the right consistency (I know I did.) Add the vanilla and whip again.
Also, because I love you all so much I’ve created a quick milk hand out for you to keep on your fridge to help you use your powdered milk in everyday ways. It has a conversion chart for using powdered milk along with the recipes for Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk, and as a bonus…Buttermilk in your recipes. There are 4 to a page so hand the other three out to people you love and let’s all get prepared!!

THANK YOU!!!!! I love the handout!
I love the handy milk chart for the frig idea!
My husband told me that you can buy magnet sheets that work in an ink jet printer. I went to an office supply store and he was right! I figure that I will be able to make each chart (4 per page)for under a dollar. They will make cute gifts to give out.
Thanks!
What???? You can make whipped topping with powdered milk??? That is sooo awesome! My mom just told me about your site yesterday, I have to say that you totally have me motivated!! I even added your button to my blog…..I want everyone to know about this wonderful resource! Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing with the rest of us trying to make food storage part of our lives!
