Cake with condensed milk
Description
I'll share with you a recipe for making a "Turtle" cake with condensed milk. There are several variations of this dessert, but the key is the shape. It's assembled from layers of cookies and cream, then finished off with chocolate. If you'd like to make things easier, you can buy ready-made items for the base, but make the cream yourself. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
