FAQ
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
A: Sweetened condensed milk is key for the creamy, thick filling. Regular milk won’t give the same texture, but you could try a combination of milk and sugar with cornstarch as a thickener.
Q: Can I make this gluten-free?
A: Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the crust.
Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! These bars actually taste better after chilling overnight.
