Condensed milk

belfastgirl23

my gran used to whip up condensed milk with jelly and leave to set so it was jelly underneath and a sort of mousse on top. Probably a bit kinder to the waistline though I have to say the millionaires shortbread would win out on taste for me every time

The South african lemon meringue pie sounds rather yummy.

But then again so do all of the recipes.

INGREDIENTS

· 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Another one is to add the contents of the tin to 3/4 lb of coconut, few drops vanilla essence, and a pinch of salt. Drop a teaspoon of the mixture on greaseproof paper and cook for 15 mins in the oven.... Condensed milk kisses.

I bought some condensed milk today to make these after seeing this post the other day

I'm going to make some to see what they turn out like and am going to make some just before xmas to put in my home made gift hamper for my best friend.

Anyone know how long they will keep for?

light cream = americanism for single cream ( " heavy cream " is double cream )

Made flapjacks this morning and now have half a tin of condensed milk left over.

What can I do with it? My dad would have it in a sandwich but just can't bring myself to be that indulgent - even at 22 weeks pregnant!

Many thanks

lol, the sandwich would have been my first idea

you could just freeze it till you're ready to make your next batch of flapjacks

Oohhh didn't know you could freeze???

What a brilliant idea
