Nestlé® and Tini Younger's Spicy Reintroduction

As the summer heat rises, so does the excitement for an innovative flavor that is taking over the culinary scene. This summer, Nestlé® Carnation® Evaporated Milk is bringing back its first-ever flavor innovation, the Carnation® Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk. This isn’t just a relaunch; it comes in response to the overwhelming fan demand after its previous debut shocking the culinary world just a year prior.

The timing couldn't be better for those who love to crank up the heat in their summer cookouts. The Kickin' Jalapeño flavor is set to return, enriching classic recipes within a creamy, spicy twist. Whether it's for a zesty mac and cheese or a refreshing jalapeño queso dip, this flavored evaporated milk promises to take your meals to the next level. Available online starting June 2025 and on Walmart shelves in September 2025, it's the perfect addition to your pantry this BBQ season.

Origin of Flavor Innovation

The arrival of the Carnation® Kickin’ Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk is credited to its vibrant introduction last year, a result of a successful collaboration between Carnation and chef Tini Younger. Younger, renowned for her viral mac and cheese recipes on TikTok, drew the spotlight as she showcased the versatility of Carnation Evaporated Milk. The eggs, emulsification, and creamy texture of the milk are ideal for recipes where richness is key, leading many to call for the return of its spicy counterpart.

“Carnation has long been the go-to ingredient for transforming everyday dishes into culinary delights,” says Lais Ferreira, the senior marketing manager at Carnation. “With the reintroduction of Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk, we are excited to offer a product that can elevate recipes into something extraordinary and a little spicy.”

What’s New this Year?

In response to the previous year's positive reception and high demand, this relaunch is poised to capture an even wider market. Not only will it be available at Walmart stores across the nation, but also on Walmart.com for online shoppers with an MSRP of $1.84. Get ready to embrace the fiery explosion of flavor as you whip up fan-favorite recipes like the jalapeño mac and cheese poppers, or adventurous dishes such as zesty broccoli cheddar casserole.

Chef Tini Younger expressed her enthusiasm for the product’s return, noting, “Spicy foods are experiencing a surge in popularity, and the excitement surrounding Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk has been incredible. When it was previously available, the demand exceeded expectations, with many fans scrambling to grab their supply. I'm thrilled to join forces with Carnation again to spread this spicy delight to even more culinary enthusiasts!”

Alongside the return of this spicy flavor classic, Tini Younger aims to share unique recipes with her fans to turn up the heat in their kitchens even more. Following the trend of incorporating spicy flavors into everyday meals, this variant promises to be an indispensable cooking staple.
