While the base is cooking, make the icing. Start by only pouring half the boiling water into the mixture and stirring until smooth. Then gradually add a little more until you reach the desired consistency. The icing should be quite thick.

Condensed milk fudge fridge slice
With no baking and only 10 minutes prep, you’ll want to add this biscuit and fudgy chocolate slice to your list of favourite slices stat. Every bite is a crunch-filled delight. How to make condensed milk fudge fridge slice: key tips This is a very easy melt-and-mix slice. Try not to crush the biscuits, but rather chop them into good-sized chunks. Part of the delight in eating this slice is crunching through the biscuit pieces. When adding the chocolate to the saucepan, make sure your heat is low and that you stir constantly. The last thing you want is for your chocolate to catch on the base or side of the pan and burn. Stirring will ensure that all the ingredients combine well and that your mixture becomes beautifully smooth. Chill your slice for at least 2 hours before slicing, so that the fudge has time to firm up. Key ingredients in this condensed milk fudge fridge slice recipe Scotch Finger biscuits provide the crunch in this recipe and are the perfect thickness and consistency for chopping into chunks. The sweetened condensed milk and white and milk chocolates combine to make the fudge that holds the biscuit pieces together in this moreish slice.
