Homemade cake with condensed milk - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute the butter with an equal amount of margarine or a plant-based butter alternative for a similar result. However, using coconut oil might slightly change the texture and flavor, so it's best to use a solid fat substitute for similar consistency.
When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this cake will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Ensure it's well-covered to prevent it from absorbing other odors from the fridge.
Absolutely! To make this recipe gluten-free, simply ensure that the cookies or biscuits you're using are certified gluten-free. Many common biscuits contain wheat, so check the labels. Gluten-free cookies will work just as well in this recipe.
Yes, this cake freezes very well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and it will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
If your mixture seems too dry and isn't holding together well, try adding a tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until it reaches the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much liquid, as it can make the mixture too wet.
This cake is delicious served chilled. For an extra special touch, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. A drizzle of caramel sauce also pairs wonderfully with the flavors.
Yes, simply omit the walnuts. The recipe will still work perfectly well without them. You might want to add a little extra of another ingredient like crushed cookies to maintain the texture, but it's not strictly necessary.
To make a smaller portion, simply halve all the ingredients. Use a smaller pan or individual ramekins. The setting time might be slightly less, so check after about an hour and a half instead of the full two hours.
