Description
Ingredients
- 395 g condensed milk
- 120 g butter or margarine1
- 1 c sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Place condensed milk, butter and sugar in a casserole dish (I found amicrowave rice cooker is a good size). Microwave on HIGH for 2.5 minutes. Stir. Repeat 4 times, for 12.5 minutes cooking total. Add vanilla and beat until well-combined. Pour into greased and lined tray. (They recommended square 20cm by 20cm, but whatever you have will work.) Cut when a little cooler.
Notes
Alright having a big sook now... after the 3rd 2.5 minute thingy (so 7.5 mins total) it separated and went all chunky... I assume that isn't meant to happen?
Guessing my microwave is too strong to do this on high...
So if I were to do it in a saucepan what consistency am I looking for before adding the vanilla and allowing it to cool?
Shattered... my house smells yummy but there is nothing to eat!!! LOL.ÂÂ
This is SO what I need to make today LOL.
So do you keep it in the fridge? Or set it in the fridge?
Assuming I don't eat it all today myself (quite possible ROFL) how long should it keep for?
Thanks!ÂÂ
No that's right Kate! When you beat it, it all comes back together
I didn't set or keep in the fridge, and I left some for DH when I took the girls to Canberra last Thursday (made on Wed) and there was still some left, and it was okay on Monday. Not quite as good, but still yummy :)ÂÂ
