Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, heavy cream, milk powder, and margarine in a medium saucepan. Stir well off the heat until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
- 3
Once the margarine has melted and the mixture begins to simmer, reduce to low heat. Continue stirring for 5–8 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.

Remove from heat — the filling will look soft at this stage. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. It will firm up into a spreadable, creamy filling perfect for layering and decorating.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap margarine for butter for a richer flavour. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra depth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
