I know I’m bumping it up (I did a search because I wanted to find a kosher version of it) but can you use whole milk too?

Condensed milk has a different texture (thick like cream) and evaporated milk too, so you'd need to figure out a scientific substitution.

FYI, Baker's Choice makes cholov yisroel sweetened condensed milk.
