Do you remove the kilt ? ? ?

You can remove the kilt if using Pam's brand condensed milk but I wouldn't recommend it if using authentic highlander. Could be biting off more than you could chew

Quick! Can opener and scissors! The reduced cream and onion soup dip will keep them at bay.

Hope you managed to fend off the family beaker. I have hit upon the perfect solution. Steal one average sized sporran from a burly scotsman, measure the butter, sugar, flour and baking powder and tip into the sporran. 1/4 cup of Highlander Condensed Milk is the exact size as the space, less 2cm from the top, left in the sporran. You can easily mix the whole lot up in the sporran by vigourously squeezing the lot, then you can pipe out biscuit sized portions by cutting a wee hole in the bottom of the sporran.
Simple really.

I came across this gem... for those more "cultured" among us...
SWEET BEANS
This is a typical Dominican dish. It is a sort of pudding but not as thick. It is made with Kidney Beans, Yam, Condensed Milk, Raisins and Cinnamon. It sounds terrible but trust me, it is wonderful. This desert has become an Easter/Semana Santa tradition, served during Lent, in the Dominican household. (Bon Helados also serves up an ice cream version that is wonderful)
Ingredients:
* 2 cups cooked kidney beans/habichuelas rojas * 2 cups water reserved from the beans * 1/4 cup of raisins/ciruelas pasas * 3 cups of evaporated milk/leche evaporada * 1 cup of coconut milk/leche de coco * 1 cup sweetened condensed milk/Leche Condensada * 1/2 lb of sweet potatoes/batatas cooked and mashed * 1/2 cup of sugar/azucar * 2 cinnamon sticks/palitos de canela * 2 tablespoons butter/mantequilla * 8 to 10 cloves/Clavos dulces * 1/2 teaspoon salt/sal * optional * Cassava bread toasted or milk cookies * canela casabe tostado o galleticas de leche
Instructions:
* Puree the beanswith a little cooking liquid and then strain. * Add beans, coconut milk, evaporated milk and bring to a boil * Lower heat to medium add the Condensed milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, raisins and sweet potatoes * Keep stirring so it does not stick. * Add the rest of the ingredients * Stir until the desired consistency has been reached. * Serve warm or cold with the cassava bread or float the cookies on top.
"I have been known to enjoy a few bowls before feeling satisfied. This is a treat one will not soon forget. It sounds terrible but it is ever so tasty". Que Sabroso!

I have only just noticed buzzy110's innovative solution to the Highlander biscuit dilemma. I have to say this is a brilliant piece of lateral thinking except for one flaw which will probably prove insurmountable. Show me the " burly Scotsman " who would be willing to give up his beloved sporran without a fight !

Nothing beats sitting in tussock on a ridge in Kahurangi National Park sipping from a mug of smoky billy tea with a squeeze of sweetened condensed milk in it... oh yes, and dunking a gingernut :)

Sorry to say that a lot of things would beat that in my life elliehen LOL :)
The sweet beans sound very good to me - however I would use coconut cream for all the condensed milk stuff and up the sugar slightly instead. The Japanese have similar recipes :)

You must have confused me with another poster - I don't like to engage in personalities, I choose to address the issues.

uli, you misrepresent me... poster #1 asked only for favourite ways to use condensed milk, and I obliged, not favourite all-time life experiences ;)

My exact words were, "Post your favourite condensed milk recipe here. " I am happy for all favourite recipes to be posted here.
And who knows. One day we may see hordes of people trudging through the tussock in Kahurangi National Park to get a cup of smoky billy tea and a gingernut bikky. DOC may already have plans to licence a vendor to light fires in our beautiful, and easily destroyed by fire, national parks so that everyone can have a chance to enjoy SCM in a breathtakingly glorious and natural habitat.

Nearly 200 postings in a Your Favourite Condensed Milk recipe here thread, yet no recipe for condensed milk itself! What has this recipe board come to! Packet cake mixes, crushed bought biscuits, gravy and sauce sachets, packet or tinned soup. Highlander, Nestle or Pam's condensed milk... . I wonder if home made tastes better in this case? ? ? I've never had cause to try this, yet, but - a recipe:
Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 C skim milk Powder, 1/2 C boiling water, 2/3 C sugar, 3 T butter or margarine. Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Store in refrigerator. Makes just over 400g.
I was quite relieved to discover that in rhyming Liverpool slang, condensed milk is called conny onny. I was reading a book about Liverpudlian family, and the treat of the day was a conny onny butty...
