Fridge Cake

Cakes, Biscuits and Bread  

Ingredients

400 gm Condensed milk
200 gm Nice biscuits

Method

Caramelise the condensed milk by placing the tin in a pan of COLD water and bringing it to the boil. Boil for about 2 hours, making sure that there is enough water to cover the tin(s) at all times. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly before opening the tin and using.

Place a layer of Nice biscuits (say 5) on a board, broad side of biscuit to broad side. I usually cover the board with Foil first. Spread some of the caramelised condensed milk over the layer of biscuits. Cut a biscuit in half length ways with a sharp knife. Make the next layer with the half biscuit at each end and whole biscuits between. Cover with the condensed milk again. Continue to build the cake alternating whole biscuits and halves at each end until you have a cake the height you want. Spread the condensed milk over the sides and sprinkle with a few crumbs of biscuit. Put into the fridge to set.

To serve cut into slices about 2cm thick.

Notes

It is better to make the cake while the condensed milk is still warm.
