    or more healthily as part of the base mix for fresh museli

    Use any fresh fruit that you like, grated, chopped or mashed in as appropriate. We used to leave the entire base mix (oats, water, codensed milk, lemon juice) to soak overnight as it made things quicker in the morning and we never found that it curdled as fresh milk would

    or even less healthily, Banoffi Pie!

    How about this recipe for no churn ice cream. I haven't tried it yet (keep meaning to as I've a tin of CM in the cupboard) but it's got good reviews.:)

    Try this ...

    ISLE OF ISLAY CREAM

    This recipe comes from the beautiful western Scottish island of Islay (pronounced "eye-luh"), where the peat in the soil and water gives the local Scotch whiskies an earthy taste like Irish whiskey. This was not to some locals liking, so they devised this way of enjoying it.

    Makes approx. 1 litre

    INGREDIENTS

    400g tin of condensed milk
    170g tin of evaporated milk (eg. "Ideal")
    250ml carton of single cream
    250ml of Scotch whisky or Irish whiskey
    4 teaspoons of coffee essence (eg. "Camp")

    METHOD

    Pour the milk and cream into a 1 litre jug or bowl.

    Use the whisky to wash out the milk and cream containers, then add it to the bowl.

    Add the coffee essence.

    Stir together.

    Pour into a clean 1 litre bottle.

    ALTERNATIVES & ADDITIONS

    The original recipe specified UHT long-life single cream, but normal single cream works fine.

    Adjust the amount of coffee essence to taste.

    TIPS

    Don’t use your best single malt for this. Any cheap supermarket blended brand will do.

    Keep it in the fridge. However, I don't know how long it will keep for: it’s never stayed around long enough to go off.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    if you open the tin and leave it in the fridge for a few days it goes slightly grainy and thick, like very soft white fudge. If, each time you open the fridge, you have a guilty teaspoon it will soon get used up. Not, of course, that I have ever done this.
