- 1 can condensed milk or La Lechera)

Notes
- Setting time will vary and dependant on use. It can be served semi-chilled or as thickened cream-mousse texture 1 hour+ or as ice cream usually fully set in 6-12 hours.
- Condensed milk (AUS/NZ) and La Lechera (USA) are the same product. In Australia and New Zealand the can is 425g vs the 397g US Nestle La Lechera. One can is sufficient in both cases.
- Cadbury Crunchie bars are similar to the Violet Crumble in Australia. I am not aware of any similar product in USA. They can be purchased on amazon or let me know in comments any alternative you have found.
