Related to Milk

Soy Milk

Closest dairy-free swap. Soy milk's 3% protein curdles and foams like dairy milk, so it bakes, custards, and froths the same way. Close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup). See our Soy Milk converter.

Almond Milk

Lighter and lower in fat than dairy milk (245 g vs 258 g per cup). Works in pancakes, cocoa, and cake batters; expect a slightly less rich crumb and a faint nutty note. See our Almond Milk converter.

Oat Milk

Creamier mouthfeel than dairy milk but lower in fat. Sweeter and starchier, so reduce sugar by a touch in delicate bakes. Close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup). See our Oat Milk converter.

Buttermilk

Buttermilk is thicker and more acidic than milk. It adds tenderness to baked goods and works well in pancakes, cakes, and marinades. If a recipe calls for buttermilk and you only have milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per cup as a substitute. See our Buttermilk converter.

Powdered Milk

Powdered milk is dehydrated milk ground to a fine powder, used to boost protein in breads or to stand in for liquid milk when reconstituted. To swap powdered for liquid milk, mix about 4 tablespoons of powder with 1 cup of water for a close match in volume and richness. See our Powdered Milk converter.

Condensed Milk

Condensed milk is milk with most of its water removed and a heavy dose of added sugar, so it is far thicker and sweeter than regular milk. The two are not a 1:1 swap; for a quick stand-in for condensed milk, gently simmer milk with sugar until reduced and thickened. See what 100 millilitres of condensed milk is in cups.

Evaporated Milk

Evaporated milk is unsweetened milk reduced by about 60% in volume, leaving a thicker, richer liquid than regular milk. To use evaporated in place of milk, dilute with an equal part water; to use milk in place of evaporated, gently simmer to reduce by half. See our Evaporated Milk converter.

Heavy Cream

Heavy cream is far richer than milk, with around 36% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup); for a closer stand-in when a recipe calls for heavy cream, mix 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of melted butter. See what 100 millilitres of heavy cream is in cups.

Coconut Milk

Tinned full-fat coconut milk is much richer than dairy milk, with around 20% fat to whole milk's 3 to 4%. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume for a dairy-free result, but expect a coconut flavour and thicker body in curries and bakes.
