Condensed milk

Condensed milk sets with the addition of lemon juice so is very versatile. For special desserts I use the Carnation website recipes, which include a lemon meringue pie. I have sometimes used a bought sponge flan instead of the crust and omitted the meringue topping for a tangy dish. The Banoffee pie and fruit fools are delicious too!

Mmm, condensed milk! My guilty pleasure, still, is to eat spoonfuls out of the tin. When we were children our grandmother used to make us condensed milk sandwiches.

BBbevan I remember being on a weekend trip with the school and we had tubes of condensed milk which we enjoyed sharing while in our bunks after lights out. Think I'm very lucky to still have my own teeth!!!

You used to be able to get it in a tube. Instructions: Open mouth and squirt in. Lovely

Base is biscuit crumbs and melted butter pressed into tin. Whip a jar of cream, add condensed milk and juice of whole lemon. It thickens up and is delicious.

I love milk jelly. I must ask annsixty.

That must be the same one.
I was so impressed I almost attempted it!

I do one with jelly and evaporated milk.It is very simple and makes a mousse.

I'm sure annsixty posted a recipe made with jelly and condensed milk.

I used to make that. I used condensed milk and cream mixed, then lemon juice added which thickened it. Put it on a buttery biscuit base. Yum,

Sugar goes with melted butter and weetabix.

Old family recipe - lemon meringue pie without the pie!
1 x 405g tin condensed milk
3 whole eggs
juice of 3 lemons and grated rind of 1
Separate the eggs, set aside the whites to whip with sugar as a meringue topping.
Whisk egg yolks until pale and fold into condensed milk with lemon juice and rind. Give the lot a good old stir until stiff, and turn into oven proof container.
Top with the meringue mixture, into a medium oven for 15/20 minutes

Could it have been Lemon Freeze ? I will look it up and report back later. It uses raw eggs and I stopped making it when there was the Edwina Currie scare but I believe it is OK to use them now.

Mmm, I used to love condensed milk as a child. Sorry, can't help with a recipe but I'll be watching.

We had lunch with a friend recently who made a lemon cheesecake using condensed milk, Greek yoghurt and double cream. I’ll see if I can get the recipe from her!
