Sweet!

When calories don't matter, there is...sweetened condensed milk.
It is the secret ingredient to many confectioneries, and awesome
desserts.

I was happy to find today - the French MSN- a recipe for a traditional
Portuguese Pudim, which highlights this ingredient.

With the oven preset T 350°, one puts the powdered sugar to

heat in a pan with a bit of water till it forms a caramel. pour this

in a spring form pan.

Whip together the rest of the ingredients:5 eggs, 2 cans

of sweetened condensed milk, an equivalent volume of

partially-skimmed milk.

Pour over the caramel; cover with aluminium foil, bake for

1 1/2 hours.

Cool in the refrigerator for 3 hours; unmold with a quick dip
in warm water.

Shown above with oranges.

Dessert-loving cooks also know that condensed milk is the
quick way to wonderful ice cream. Yes, a whipped up cream
container to which one adds the milk product will form the basis
for any ice cream variant one might desire, no churning involved.
Like I said, when calories are not an issue...
