Here is a list of suggestions for dairy products, as well as some translations.
| Product | Substitute / Info |
|---|---|
| Condensed Milk | Look in the international section in major shops. Some now have it at the usual dairy products. Make sure you buy the tin with “Gezuckerte Kondensmilch wärmebehandelt”  |
| Caramelised Condensed Milk | Look in the international section in major shops. Some now have it at the usual dairy products. Make sure you buy the tin “Karamell Kondesnmilch erzeugnis gezuckert  |
| Ideal Milk / Ingedampte Melk | Look in Asian Shops or buy online. We did a poll on our FB page about substitute products. And most said “Kondensmilch order evaporierte Kondensmilch, auch Dosenmilch oder Büchsenmilch genannt” can be a substitute for Evaporated Milk / Ingedampte melk in recipes where you need to cool the milk overnight in the fridge, then beat it to increase the volume. Not referring to gezuckerte Kondensmilch – that is normal Condensed milk”  |
| Instant Custard | Milram Dessert-Soße Vanille |
| Cottage Cheese | der Hüttenkäse. The smooth one is not as readily available as the clumpy one. Quark is a good substitute |
| Buttermilk | For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk. You can also use Buttermilch |
| Double Cream 48% Fat | Doppelrahm/ Double Crème / Creme Double / Crème de Gruyère great for pouring or piping over fruit and puddings. Can be used in cooking to make a thick sauce. A good substitute for cooking is “Kochsahne” You can use Mascarpone if you need it for a dessert and Creme fraiche if you need it for a soup or sauce |
| Single Cream 18% Fat | much thinner than double cream – this is why you’ll find it mainly used for pouring over desserts and adding to cooking to add a thicker, creamier base |
| Soured cream 20% Fat | has been fermented with lactic acid bacteria. That’s how you get that tangy, sour taste |
| Creme fraiche 30% fat | A milder version of soured cream |
| Clotted Cream 55% Fat | |
| Cremora coffee creamer | Nestle Creamer or Cofee-mate Kafee-Weisser |
| Amasi – fermented milk that tastes like cottage cheese or plain yogurt. | Ayran or Kefir is a good substitute and can be found in most shops |
| Cheese spread | Milkana mit Gouda or Cheddar |
| Orley Wihp | Orley Whip is a non dairy dessert topping that looks like cream. If you are looking for a vegan substitute, you can find vegan alternatives like soya or Hafer. If you just want cream, substitute with double cream with at least 30% Fat |
