Make food Storage a TREAT

Yes, it’s possible to easily make sweetened condensed milk from your powdered milk! It tastes great, works well in your recipes AND costs approximately 75 cents for a “14 oz. can”. That is cheaper than you can get it at Thanksgiving! Sweetened condensed milk is a must for the summer months because you can make so many fun ice cream-like desserts that won’t heat up your house cooking it! Just one more way you can make any recipe a food storage recipe!
Chocolate Ice Cream Cups- makes 1 1/2 dozen cups.
These are so easy (much easier than you would think) and really dress up your ice cream. The other great thing is that you can make a bunch and then freeze them, great for an everyday emergency and a great dessert!!
2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips (or used white chocolate chips, but the semi-sweet are easier to use)
1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk (1 C. dry powdered milk, 1 C. sugar, 1/2 C. hot water, 1 T. Butter-blend in blender very well)
1 C. finely ground pecans (or used Oreos but again the nuts are easier)

1. In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chips with sweetened condensed milk; remove from heat. Stir in pecans. I n individual paper-lined muffin cups, spread about 2 T. chocolate mixture. With lightly greased spoon, spread chocolate on bottom and up side of each cup.
2. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Before serving remove paper liners. Fill chocolate cups with ice cream. Store un filled cups tightly covered in freezer.Note: It is easier to remove the paper liners if the chocolate cups site at room temperature for about 5 minutes first.
