Just found this in the depths of the forum, I have all the ingredients except the blinking 20cm square tin. Do I definitely need a tin or can I use a ceramic dish?“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

Well I made it, using American cups for the sugar and milk. Blah! It was soooo sweet, I used to love Coconut ice but couldnt eat it now. I compared American cups to an ordinary cup and the American ones were slightly smaller.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0
