    I tried this. It did not set up hard enough. I followed the directions and warmed the milk but not boil.

    1. Dragana Avatar

      You need to use sweetened condensed milk and leave it in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, Shirley.

      Best regards.

      I tried it and it never set up. Kept in frig 4 hours with no luck.

      1. Dragana Avatar

        You can try it with a freezer, Carolyn and cut into squares before serving. It should be taken out of the freezer 15-30 minutes before serving, because the cutting will be easier.

      @Rhonda niro,
      I think some of you having problems with the recipe are using condensed or evaporated milk NOT SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK. Totally different products

    Would it be possible to do in microwave? If so what would you suggest

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Helene,

      I always recommend to follow the recipe. But if is necessary, it can be done in the microwave, but you have to work in shorter intervals of 5-10 seconds.

    Warm the milk in a large ‘dish’ – does this mean something like a saucepan?

    1. Dragana Avatar

      You can use saucepan to warm a milk.
