That could depend how far past the expiration date and what the storage conditions have been. The date is probably a 'best by' date rather than a 'don't use this after' date. The time up to that date is the period in which the processor figures their product is best. Canned food can undergo chemical changes that affect flavor and texture. So using the condensed milk past its prime could mean that your finished product won't be as good as you would like.

If the milk is in an unopened can, yes. Then it will stay safe up to 5 days.

Yes. Canned evaporated milk does have a shelf life. The changes would likely be chemical.

That's way beyond recommended shelf life. I would think the flavor and color would be pretty bad, even if the seals are intact.

Unopened canned evaporated milk will last for between nine and twelve months after the date printed on the can. Opened evaporated milk will last for approximately four days.

Yes - so long as the can is not rusted or dented. Open it and smell then taste the contents before adding.
