Hi Loulou,

I've added your thread to the existing thread on condensed milk to give you more ideas.

Just used this recipe and took it to my daughter in laws baby shower and wanted to let you know how delicious it is.

A small company has been selling lovely flapjack at work for a couple of weeks now at £1 a piece. I have succombed on a couple of occasions. On eating one the other dinner time I was interested to read the ingredients and spotted 'condensed milk'.

I did adapt the recipe a bit as per 'MSE' rules. I used some value muesli with the porridge oats. I also used some cranberries, chopped apricots and pineapple - little bags on offer in the supermarket. I also used honey instead of golden syrup.

They proved very popular last night, and I will be making them again.

Flapjack, condensed milk recipe.
Porridge Oats (Tesco's value ones work well), 500g
Butter, 300g
Golden Syrup 4 serving spoons
Unsweetended condensed milk, half a tin
Demerera sugar, 340g

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius, you may need to search the web to find a conversion to gas mark (1-9) which many ovens are in.
2. Line the baking tin with baking parchment, this doesn't have to be neat.
3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
4. Add the sugar and syrup. Keep heating and stirring until all is melted and mixed. Don't rush by turning the heat up, the sugar will start to caramelise etc. If it starts to boil take it off the heat!
5. Add the condensed milk and mix.
6. Gradually add the oats, folding them in. All the oats should be coated, and the mixture quite dense, but still sticky. Don't add so many oats that the mixture becomes dry.
7. Pour the mixture into the tins and spread about so that it lines the tin to a depth of 2-3cm. Fill as many tins as necessary! Don't squash the mixture in, just spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the oven for ~15mins. If using top and middle shelves swap half way through so they cook evenly.
9. You should take them out when they just start to go brown round the edges, don't leave longer than this. If they're still squidgy in the middle that's fine, they set on cooking.

I have had a dairy allergy all my life, but was recently very excited to find condensed soy milk. Of course I bought some...now I am not really sure why - it was just the novelty value I think!

What do you use condensed milk for?

The only thing I have thought of so far is millionaire's shortbread.

Thanks in advance!

I've used it before to make dulce de leche by boiling the can.
My grandmother apparently fed it to her newborns and I'm sure it featured as a midnight feast treat in Enid Blyton books!

I know you can make fudge with it, I bought a tin ages with the intention of trying it out, might be a job for tomorrow!

Mashed banana, condensed milk and brown sugar sandwiches or for the diet version leave the brown sugar out

There are some ice cream recipes using CD and also a lovely moist fruit cake and of course it is rather nice/naughty straight from the tin with a spoon. (All of these just once in a blue moon for me as having joint pain means that I watch my weight quite keenly)

Scottish tablet is the main thing id make. Apart from that "do not try this at home" (risk of explosion) id put the tin in a pan of boiling water for 3hrs, leave to cool and its made caramel.
