Nestlé® Carnation® Evaporated Milk and TikTok's Tini Younger Reunite to Bring Carnation® Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk to Shelves Nationwide for the First Time

The spicy version of classic Carnation^® Evaporated Milk returns due to fan demand in time to spice up summer cookouts

ARLINGTON, Va., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time to heat up summer cookouts, Nestle^® Carnation^® Evaporated Milk is bringing back its first-ever flavor innovation, Carnation^® Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk, as countless fans called for its return after last year's debut. Available online this summer and on shelves for a limited time in September, this fiery flavor is perfect for making your favorite recipes richer, creamier and bolder than ever before. 

"For generations, Carnation has been the secret ingredient to elevate recipes from ordinary to extraordinary," said Lais Ferreira, senior marketing manager at Carnation. "Now, in a bold move to end the era of gatekeeping, we're bringing back Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk — this time to shelves nationwide — to add a tantalizing kick of spice and creaminess to recipes like queso, jalapeño mac and cheese poppers, or zesty broccoli cheddar casserole."

In 2024, Carnation teamed up with chef Tini Younger, whose mac and cheese recipe featuring Carnation Evaporated Milk as the secret ingredient went viral on TikTok, to launch the brand's first ever flavor innovation. This year, Tini is showcasing how Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk is the creamiest secret to adding a bold kick to any dish — from the classics her fans know and love to brand new recipes that she'll share with her audience.

"Spicy foods are having a serious moment, and the love for Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk has been unreal," said Tini Younger. "Last year, demand was through the roof — people were trying to get their hands on every last can. That's why it's so exciting to team up with Carnation again to bring back this fiery favorite — and this time, even more people can get in on the heat. I can't wait to see the bold, mouthwatering recipes everyone whips up!"

Limited-edition Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk will be available beginning June 2025 at Walmart.com for an MSRP of $1.84 (price may vary) and is hitting shelves exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide beginning in September. Fans can check availability in the Walmart App, where they can also grab classic Nestlé^® Carnation Evaporated Milk, now in new red cans, on shelves nationwide.
