Sweetened Condensed Milk—Holding It All Together
The magic ingredient in many Bakers’ Corner slice recipes is 100% Australian NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk. This versatile and delicious element adds creaminess, sweetness, and cohesion to our favourite slices. The Best Ever Caramel Slice didn’t come by its name by accident—its pure smooth goodness comes from sweetened condensed milk.
If fruit or nuts are more to your fancy, you’ll want to make our strawberry Jelly Squares and our Macadamia Slice. Their common thread is sweetened condensed milk. We love it so much that in 2011 we published a whole book about it: 100 Years of Sweet Baking Memories: A Collection of Australia’s Favourite Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipes. Many of the recipes in the book are available on the Bakers’ Corner.
Death by ChocolateChocolate and condensed milk make an irresistible pair. Chocolate lovers will find slices galore to satiate their cravings on Nestlé Bakers’ Corner. Fans of milk chocolate will find the quick and easy Chocolate Nut Fudge Log to their liking—with nothing but NESTLÉ Milk CHOC BITS, sweetened condensed milk, and roasted hazelnuts, this simple slice is sure to be a favourite (and it’s gluten free!).
If dark chocolate is more to your liking, take the traditional caramel slice to a new level by adding pure NESTLÉ Dark Melts—voila! You’ve got the Chocolate Caramel Slice, a decadent amalgamation of chocolate and condensed milk for creaminess, plus oats and coconut for a hearty crunch.
Finally, white chocolate enthusiasts won’t be left out in the cold—the White Christmas slice can be enjoyed even in warm Christmas climes and at any time of year! NESTLÉ White Melts and condensed milk moisten these slices, and crispy rice, glace cherries, and desiccated coconut add texture, colour, and nutritional value.
Feeling Fruity?
Fruit-flavoured slices present infinite possibilities. Add condensed milk and you have naturally sweet, rich and creamy desserts to appeal to any audience. The lemon zest in the Lemon Glace Fruit Slice gives it a tangy kick on top of its pleasant undertones of milk and honey. The Apricot and Coconut Slice is a perfect morning tea pick-me-up—the fruit and coconut give you the energy you need to make it through the day, coated in an alluring layer of milk chocolate.
