Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You'll have about half a can of condensed milk left, so make sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge. You can use it for other treats or in your morning coffee.

This slice needs to be kept cold or the topping will melt.

I always let it warm up a bit to cut into small serves and the pop back in the freezer.
