Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Use full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk. Full-fat gives a creamier taste and sets firmer.
You can use any type of nuts you like - pecans, macadamias, almonds, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts etc. My personal favourite combo is macadamias, slivered almonds and pecans.
Storing - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing - allow it to cool completely and then double wrap in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Allow to come to room temperature overnight before consuming.
