Biscuit pudding
This classic pudding comes together by layering broken biscuits with a rich mix of condensed milk and cocoa. Scatter a few chopped nuts between the layers for crunch or finish with grated chocolate on top. After resting in the fridge – it turns soft and fudgy, almost like cake. It’s the kind of dessert that looks far more effortful than it is, which is why it’s always a hit at family tables. Rum cocktail Condensed milk even finds an unexpected place behind the bar. Shake it with white rum, a dash of cold brew, and ice, and you get a drink that’s smooth, creamy, and slightly decadent. The sweetness softens the sharpness of the coffee and rum, making each sip richer and easier to enjoy. It’s more dessert than cocktail, but with just enough kick to keep it lively. Condensed milk cookies Butter, flour, and condensed milk come together to form a simple dough that bakes into golden cookies with crisp edges and soft middles. Add a handful of choco chips for a melty surprise in every bite. The condensed milk adds a gentle caramel sweetness, giving these biscuits a personality that plain sugar can’t. They’re ideal with tea – and even better when eaten warm from the oven. Mango kulfi Nothing says summer quite like kulfi, and condensed milk makes it practically effortless. Blend ripe mango pulp with condensed milk and a little cream. Add a few chunks of mango in between for juicier bites. Pour into moulds, and freeze. The result is dense, creamy, and full of mango’s golden sweetness – no stirring, no ice crystals, just pure summer indulgence. Caramel spread Perhaps the most magical transformation comes when condensed milk is slowly heated until it darkens into dulce de leche. Thick, golden, and deeply caramelised, it spreads beautifully on toast, pancakes, or just a spoon. It’s a reminder that sometimes one ingredient is all you need to create something extraordinary.
