Hi me again - tried the banana and that was a hit and made the tart a much lighter option - that squeezy caramel is fab and could be used as a topping for ice cream - well worth trying

You can now buy carnation caramel in a squeezy bottle - made small tarts (ready bakes by M&S) and squeezed over the caramel then added a topping of melted chocolate too rich. Either cream or chocolate flake crumbled over would be better - I will try the banana as that would be like banoffee pie.

boil a few cans of condensed milk at the one time and save fuel

I use whipping or double cream and then crumble a flake over the top.

Very time consuming, not at all eco-frendly (boil for 2 hours)but nice to eat

Wow that's great, I didn't know you could get caramel from boiling condensed milk! Could do so much with this, add apple or banana. I've just gone and bought both books, can't wait to see more recipes. Thanks girls.
