RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

INGREDIENTS:

Sweetened Condensed Milk – use full-fat, regular condensed milk for this recipe. The condensed milk binds the slice together and the reduced-fat version won’t be as firm.
Biscuits – in Australia, I recommend using Arnott’s Marie or Granita But any plain, sweet biscuits/cookies such as Graham Crackers will work.
Caramilk chocolate – the star ingredient! Caramilk is a caramelised white chocolate made famous by Cadbury that is insanely popular in Australia and New Zealand. It has a luscious, creamy flavour that is completely irresistible. Caramilk can be purchased from any major supermarket in Australia or New Zealand. If it isn't available where you live, you can use any variety of caramelised white chocolate, or swap for white chocolate instead.
Coconut Oil or Vegetable Oil – softens the chocolate topping layer slightly, which helps to stop the chocolate from cracking when you cut it. It is important to use a neutral tasting oil (such as vegetable or coconut oil) in this recipe so as not to affect the taste.

MORE RECIPE TIPS:

Crushing the biscuits - leaving some chunks in the crushed biscuits adds texture and provides a crunchy contrast in the fudgy base. Alternatively you may prefer to crush the biscuits finely for a smoother texture.
Line the slice tin - adding baking paper to the base of the tin will help you to remove the set slice from the tin. Leave the edges overhanging slightly, to make it easier to lift out.
Cutting the slice - take the slice out of the fridge for approximately 20 minutes before cutting, to soften slightly. This will make it easier to cut. Use a hot and dry knife (dip the knife in hot water and then dry completely) to score the slice. Once the slice has been scored, press down firmly with the knife to slice all the way through.
Storing & freezing - store Caramilk Slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Alternatively, wrap well and store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to three months.
