ISO chalav yisrael sweetened condensed milk

[Sarah Chana]

Ok, folks. I need your help. With all this recipe browsing before Shavuot, I'm just about salivating over some of the wonderful things that can be made from sweetened condensed milk. On top of that, my husband grew up on the stuff, and really misses it. Now I am looking for some that is chalav yisrael. Can't find any here in Chicago. Any leads?

WHAT IF I TELL YOU ABOUT PARVE CONDENSED MILK? WOULD YOU BE INTRESTED?

I'm interested!

Do you need powdered soy milk for it? Almost impossible to get locally.
