Condensed milk

domino

what about hm chocolate spread? I use 1 tin condensed milk, 1 packet butter (unsalted/slightly salted best), 250g plain chocolate and few drops vanilla essence. Melt butter and chocolate together in bowl over hot water or in microwave. Remove from heat and beat in condensed milk and few drops vanilla essence. Pour into containers and refridgerate. Can add ground almonds or coffee essence for variety.

add it to half a tin of evaporated milk, whisk REALLY thoroughly, freeze for 2 hours, whisk again (they separate really quickly), freeze fully and you have delicious ice cream. add some black corffee while mixing for a different flavour.

Millionaire Shortbread!! Just make some shortbread (6oz flour, 4oz butter, 2oz sugar - rub all in together till combined, roll out and line base of a 7" cake tin and bake about 15 mins 180) Mix condensed milk in pan with some syrup (or sugar) - about equal amounts and 20z or so of butter - boil until it turns into a lovely golden brown and the set test (a little bit wrinkles if you put it on a cold saucer) works. Spread this on shortbread and top with melted chocolate before buying larger jeans (lol!)

Was going to suggest this one myself!! yum yum yum:D

I've got half a tin of sweetened condensed milk left over from making coconut macaroons.

Any ideas what I can do with it?

Sweetened condensed milk sandwiches are not on the menu .. :laugh:

Back in the late 1940s my old mum used to spread it on toast or ordinary bread. We always seemed to have loads of the stuff in the larder .I don't know where it came from but there were tins and tins of it .It may have fallen off an army lorry for all I know as my Dad's pals used to drop in for overnight stays on their way home to Scotland. My Mum was for ever shoving us kids in top to toe in the double bed so some poor soldier would have a comfy bed for the night.My Dad and Mum would never turn anyone away. I know i always used to end up with a cut finger off the 'conny milk' tin. No wonder half the children of my age grew up with their teeth falling out as it seems to be pure sugar

Would this recipe have many calories? :eek:

I would make mayonaise with 1/2 tin. Just add some vineagar, splosh at a time until it tastes right & then a pinch of dry mustard.

am i the only greedy devil who, instead of doing something useful with half a tin, would have a spoonful everytime i went into the fridge?

nope not at all but is there condensed milk from goats milk that anyone knows of, I can't imagine that it could be made from Soya milk

any ideas, I love the stuff, but intolerant to cows milk.....

we used to do this in the restaurant I worked in, we never kept the unopened cans in the fridge as they store like any normal can. We used to boil an army pan of cans for making banoffee pie and then keep them to use until we ran out and had to boil more!! Never pierced them but had to make sure that there was water covering the can, otherwise you end up with burnt toffee which is a horrible smell!!!

Probably loads of calories - but it does make an awful lot of choccy spread. I put it into several small tubs, keep one in the fridge and freeze the others. (out of sight....easier to resist!)

Was following a thread last week on OS about cooking tins of condensed milk in boiling water for 3 hours - the receipes all looked great!

Went to Sainsburys today to buy a few tins and I got a tin Of Nestle Carnation Cramel - all ready cooked. Frightened to open it to see if it is the right stuff, as I will still be sitting here i 3 hours time with dirty spoon, empty tin and me feeling very seedy

Has anyone tried it yet - It is the first I have seen it, but if it works it has to be worth the extra 40p.
