Work catering #16: One can of condensed milk

One simple can of condensed milk, yet so much can be done with this humble ingredient! It works well with both baked slices and cheesecakes and no bake cakes.

This week I made two quite different slices but both using condensed milk. I've also posted up many other recipes that use condense milk such as Choc chip and macadamia cookies, Rumballs and Strawberry Jelly slice. So here are 2 more to add to the collection!

The original recipe baked the cake in a 20cm round spring form tin however for the purposes of work catering I turned it into a slice =) I'm also loving this new Baking website called Baker's corner. It has so many simple ideas using similar ingredients =D You guys should check it out!

Crumble on the top and the bottom! Love it!

I love <3 love <3 love cheesecake (if you haven't already noticed) and this was my first baked cheesecake in a while. I love the crumble mix however I found the base to be a bit dry so maybe you can add a little more butter next time. The raspberries were a little tart but was good to cut through the sweetness.

This is such a simple "All-in-one-bowl-and-mix" recipes =D Love it! Turned out really yummy and fudgy! Kind of tasted like a rumball slice, I guess because of the coconut.
