Condensed Milk ... i have 1/2 tin left, What can i make with it ??

[smiles4u]

Yep mix the biscuits, coconut and cocoa together and add the condensed milk.

Hang on, Shel is finding the recipe. She's the chocoalte ball expert in this house haha!

hey tell Shel to hurry up before i lick the tin out here, ROFL

... i think choc balls might be the go so then DD who is 4 could eat 'em too

(or could i separate some mixture and put a few drops of rum essence for DP & i to have ?? ... ah um blonde question is the rum mixture the same as choc recipe but just added rum ?? )

The thought of eating/drinking condensed milk makes me shudder, mind you my adult DD's scoff down a tube when they can.

On the practical side make another lemon slice and freeze it. Freezes well

Very nice in coffee That is how we tend to have it.

*** smile4u lemon slice recipe ***

- 1/2 Cup sweetened condensed milk
- 100gr butter
- 200gr Granita biscuits (i have used Arrowroot & Marie biscuits which taste fine but Granita has a bit more taste to the base) ... NOTE : a pkt of Arnotts Granita biscuits are 250gr so i take a few biscuits out of the pkt)
- 1 Cup desiccated coconut
- 1 large Lemon, rind finely grated
- 1 teaspoon of ginger powder (optional)

+ Lemon icing +

- 2 Cups of icing sugar, sifted
- 40gr butter, softened
- juice from lemon that you used for biscuit base

Method ;

1. Grease & line with baking paper a biscuit slice tin (approx 15.5 x 25cm), make sure paper hangs over edges for easy access later.
Place condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat until butter is melted.

2. Finely crumb biscuits (either in a food processor or in a large plastic bag rolled over with a rolling pin).

3. In a large bowl combine crumbs, coconut and 2 teaspoons of finely grated lemon rind then add hot butter/condensed milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

4. Press biscuit mixture into prepared slice tin with either your fingers or back of a steel spoon.

5. Refrigerate for 1.5hours or until firm.

#Method of Lemon Icing#

Place sifted icing sugar, softened butter and 2.5 (two & a half) tablespoons of lemon juice in a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until spoon.
Spread icing over biscuit base and refrigerate for a further 30mins or until icing sets.
Cut into pieces (i cut into small rectangle/finger size pieces as it is a rich slice & you can always go back for more ).

>>> I prefer the hint of ginger taste in the biscuit base, it's not overpowering. Also i prefer the look & taste of desiccated coconut sprinkled over the spread lemon icing.

It may appear to be not enough icing but for me it's ' just ' enough to spread ... so you can always make more icing if you prefer.

ENJOY
