Sounds interesting and one I would like to try. Are you able to share the exact size of the tins of milk and sweetcorn required for us non-Northern Hemisphere followers.
Justine, thanks so much for checking in with me on the sizes, but as far as I know Feriel would have used the following but I have tagged her on FB to confirm the below.
small tin dessert cream = 290 g
1 tin cream sweet corn (Koo or any other brand) = 354 ml
1 tin Ideal milk, also known as evaporated milk = 418 g
Hi Justine, I have updated the post with the sizes of each tin. Hope this will help.
