Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I use Arnotts Marie biscuits. I use the low fat condensed milk. Instead of the topping, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top - I do this regularly if in a hurry and it works a treat. Keep this in the fridge, due to the cream in the peppermint cream (this will prevent it from turning). However it is usually eaten so quickly that this is not a problem!
