Intro The recipe on the side of the tin was for Banoffee Pie; it stated also that it would serve six people. Not six of me it won't, perhaps 4 at a push because I luvs me Banoffee Pie. They must make the cans in batches since there appears to be different recipes, so if you intend to purchase ensure you are no replicating a previous purchase, that way you can collect them all. Alternatively you can visit the excellent website and get even more super recipes. Carnation Carnation milk has been popular in our family for donkey's years, initially it was used as a topping for fruit and for this purpose it is delicious.

Oh my gosh this stuff is just gorgeous & I wouldn't have known anything about it until my daughter came home this weekend & shopped for the ingredients needed for her famous (thanks to Dooyoo) recipe for Banoffe Pie. I haven't honestly bought condensed milk for many years so I was initially a little shocked to see that it cost £1.24 at Tesco (29th May) but my daughter tells me that it usually costs around £1.70. The can is as shown in the picture, contains 397 g , has a ring-pull opener & can be recycled after use. As soon as it's opened there's a lovely creamy, caramel smell which just makes you want to grab the nearest spoon to dive in ...  Read the complete review

This an amazing tool in baking cheating!!! No more do you have to mix Carnation condensed milk, butter and sugar and mess around making caramel.... You just open a can of this and your good to go!! This shaves tons of time from baking and is fantastic if you need a quick dessert for guests. It's delicious, gooey and creamy, with an amazing toffee flavour. It tastes great in millionaires shortbread or banoffee pie.... With this you can whip up a banoffee pie in 15 minutes easily (quick crushed digestive biscuit base, then pour the caramel on, layer of bananas, layer of whipped cream - whack it in the fridge and your done!!) You'll find ...  Read the complete review

Sweet tooth? Love puddings? I have to admit I love most puddings especially creamy ones and quite like Banoffi Pie - at least you're getting some fresh fruit to help towards the 5 a day target! My daughter told me how good Nestle Carnation Caramel was, and I admit I had heard about it (also called "Dulce de Leche") but had always thought making my own caramel was better. The old way was to boil a tin of Condensed milk for at least 2 hours, and 3 or 4 was even better giving a much firmer caramel which after chilling in the fridge for 24 hours could be sliced. Most people would boil 2 or 3 tins at the same time as it was a time consuming job and you ...  Read the complete review

Recently I've got into making banoffee pies, definitely appreciated by my somewhat dysfunctional household (which at the moment consists of three cats, two housemates, a fussy boyfriend and a gender-confused guy called Tsunami...don't ask). When I'm making things which include caramel, I normally make it from scratch with brown sugar, but always get frustrated because it's so easy to burn and that ruins the taste completely. So when I saw Nestle's Carnation Caramel listed in an online recipe, I had to try it out. At £1.79 a can (about the size of condensed milk at just under 500g) it's much more expensive than making your own, but a lot quicker and more ...  Read the complete review
