Millionaire's shortbread!
Discussion
Bought some Nestle condensed milk at the weekend with the intention of making some fudge. Looked on the back of the tin and there was a recipe for Millionaire's Shortbread so decided to make that instead.
Twas bloody lovely. It went down a storm at home and made a batch for my team at work. I used Cadbury's Dairy Milk for the top which was lovely.
Highly recommended if you have sweet tooth.

Oooh thank you! I have a tin of condensed milk in the cupboard I've been meaning to do something with but I couldn't decide what........ :P
Word to the wise (well, three actually)...Banoffee merengue pie...Sugar, smashed up digestives/hobnobs and melted butter for the base. Tin of condensed milk boiled unopenned for an hour and a bit and cooled, plus sliced banana, for the middle. Whipped egg whites, cornflour, vinegar and icing sugar for the top.
Particularly good with a big spoonful of mascarpone.

You are not supposed to boil the tin unopened but I have done it a hundred times without incident. Boiled (caramelised) condensed milk = Sugar, smashed up digestives/hobnobs and melted butter for the base.

Short crust pastry base, layer of toffee (boiled condensed milk), layer of sliced bananas, layer of whipped double cream, with a little coffe added to it. Then top with chocolate coffee beans
And even better the next day, when it's all soggy
as a keen user of condensed milk for bannoffee pie, you realise that you can buy it "pre-boiled" as such ... from Tesco, Sainsburys etc. Makes a bannoffee pie easy to do in 30 mins flat.
Will try the Millionaire's shortbread though, like most, my mum used to make it. It didn't last long ...

I discovered this too. Saves the 5 hours of boiling and many ruined pans!May I also suggest crushed Maltesers sprinkled on top of the whipped cream
