Limited-edition cans of Carnation Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavoured Evaporated Milk have been launched, in celebration of National Mac and Cheese Day on 14 July.

“At Carnation, we’ve always known that the secret to making grandma’s mac and cheese so rich and creamy is none other than our Carnation Evaporated Milk. Not only is evaporated milk grandma’s favourite, but America’s too, as mac and cheese is the number one usage occasion for evaporated milk1,” said Meghan Bhatia, senior manager of brand marketing at Carnation. 

“Now everyone from spicy superfans to mac and cheese connoisseurs could score a Mac it Better kit to take their homemade mac and cheese to the next level with the limited-edition Carnation Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk.”  

To help spread the savoury news, Carnation is teaming up with the queen of mac and cheese, Tini Younger, whose viral recipe features Carnation Evaporated Milk as the secret ingredient. 

With more than 100MM views and counting — plus countless stamps of approval from fans who have recreated her recipe — Tini is the perfect match to bring the new Carnation Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk to fellow mac and cheese lovers. 

“My signature mac and cheese recipe wouldn’t be as tasty without Carnation, which adds the perfect touch of creaminess,” said Tini Younger. 

“This Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk really amps up the heat and spice in my recipe, and I can’t wait to share it with my community of mac and cheese lovers.”

Carnation is releasing limited-edition Mac it Better Kits featuring the new Carnation Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk just in time for National Mac and Cheese Day. 

Each kit includes one can of Carnation Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk, one can of original Carnation Evaporated Milk, the recipe for Tini’s iconic mac and cheese, and a $25 gift card to purchase all the recipe ingredients needed.
