I am particularly fond of condensed milk but haven't tried making a vegan one for a while now and this one worked better than my previous ones because I didn't let it cook so long it was more caramel than milk.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-9190550825429166322015-07-31T21:11:27.784+10:002015-07-31T21:11:27.784+10:00Thanks Lorraine - now I have the song in my head -...Thanks Lorraine - now I have the song in my head - I think a slice of Nirvana sounds far more attractive than a bar of Nirvana Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-22927889077813929822015-07-31T21:10:40.663+10:002015-07-31T21:10:40.663+10:00Thanks Joey - I haven't heard of that one - I ...Thanks Joey - I haven't heard of that one - I think the one I see in the shops is SoyMilke.
