pfft, it's caramel shortcake! mmmm caarrramel
What the hell is that? Where's the chocolate topping? Why has it got a crust?
Welcome to the real thing, not that nonsense you buy out of shops with the slab of chocolate up top, just taking away space for the cherished caramel! 😆

The crust/base, is merely a carmel delivery system! 😆

Doug - bonbon is condensed AND steamed milk in Mainland Spain - Leché Leché in the Canaries.

Interesting, I've not come across that when I've been on the mainland (Valencia region), only ever espresso plus condensed milk

I make my own and make caramel. Dulce de Leche isn't caramel.

Worth also mentioning that the squeezy tubes of condensed milk beat all the fancy energy gels hands down for paletability and value 🙂

125ml condensed milk
250ml of double cream
Tablespoon of icing sugar

Beat with electric whisk for about 2 mins until thick and then add flavour of your choice and then freeze for a few hours and this makes gloriously creamy no churn ice cream. Currently having a salted caramel version.


Woah! Gonna have to try that, haven't snuck sneaky spoonfuls out of the can in the fridge for decades.

Been drinking this since I was 7 yr old ... until one day my primary school teacher threw my entire water bottle (1 litre of cafe bombon Borneo style) out the window ... I had no clue why she did that and told my mum about it. My mum said the teacher was a crazy woman. 😆

Vodka. And not just any vodka...

It was referred to as Crazy Milk by the Polish yacht crew who moored alongside us after a race. Their skipper invited me, as a fellow skipper, to join him for a drink following a particularly hard weather race.

Crammed in the saloon of their boat, they produced several bottles of unlabelled Polish vodka and a few tins of this stuff of which you are referring too. I have no idea how much we consumed, but I recall waking up on the deck of my boat one morning. We were berthed in Amsterdam and my recollections are varied, including flying pizza's.

Don't really like the milk now.

When I was an English Assistant in Spain (employed by Opus Dei - oops!) I lived in the residence with some of the other students. Breakfast was a huge kettle of hot reconstituted condensed milk with a huge kettle of coffee, plus a big bowl of cheap biscuits or yesterday's bread deep-fried and sprinkled with sugar. The idea was to fill your bowl with bisuits, add milk and coffee then stir it all up into a sort of massively calorie-laden gruel. Would be a good carbo-loading meal for cyclists.

😯 That sound filthy but strangely I want to try it.

I was trying to find tubes of the stuff and came across this ! 😯

[img] [/img]

"LE LAIT NESTLE
dir Herve Joseph Lebrun; with Cyril X • 02/Fr 7m
The simple thesis of this film is to compare a tube of Nestle sweetened condensed milk with a certain bodily fluid, and so we have a guy squeezing the tube, touching the sticky goo, tasting it, smearing it all over his face ... and then on his bare bum. It's completely ridiculous, grainy saturated imagery accompanied only by music and noise. And somehow it manages to actually eroticise a tube of milk! Yuck! 24.Mar.03"

A clue for you is to only use Jacob cream crackers either the square or oval types. Not rich tea biscuits.

Yeap! Used to do that all the time as breakfast etc ... much better and healthier than your cornflakes.

Thinking of it I think we were influenced by the Spanish (one of our region called Malaka (Malaga in Spain) was a Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and finally British colony) ...

These were cheapo shortbread type biscuits made with masses of greasy hydrogenated vegetable oil. In fact I wouldn't glorify them with the name "biscuit", they were more like fat and flour pellets.

My room mate and I managed to, er, gain access to the kitchens one night when we were feeling hungry. We found the catering bucket of condensed milk, which of course we looked into, and we were amazed to find the surface covered in dozens of ants, which were running around somehow without sticking to the surface. Ugh.

I have a penknife that's got a short pointy blade with a sticky-out bit on for doing exactly that, belonged to a family member who was killed at Arras in 1917.
So it's going to be a toss-up between doing things the old-fashioned way, or with a new-fangled tube. Which is a bit close to cheese in a tube, perhaps.
Still, the tube is easier to carry around...

mix with jelly, get my mum's patent "fluffy pudding" (use a whisk, as well).

Or as above make tablet.
