Ingredients
Evaporated skim milk
1 (12 ounce) can (Chilled)
Vanilla extract

Honey
4 teaspoons (None)
Instructions
1
Begin by pouring the evaporated skim milk into a large, metal or glass mixing bowl.
2
Cover the bowl and place it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. The goal is to chill the milk until it starts forming icy crystals along the edges; this step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
3
Once the milk is adequately chilled, remove the bowl from the freezer. Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the milk on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes.
4
As the mixture begins to develop soft peaks, carefully incorporate the vanilla extract and honey, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form for a light, fluffy texture.
5
Serve immediately over your favorite desserts or store in the refrigerator for a short period. Enjoy your creamy and decadent topping without the guilt!
