Disclaimer: I haven't tried eating this yet. This creation is lurking in my fridge. If this should happen to be the last ever post of this blog, I would recommend that you don't follow this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 Packet of hobnobs. You can also use digestives, but I ate the packet I brought along from Hamburg specially.
100g butter.
50g brown sugar.
1 tin of condensed milk.
250ml whipping cream.
2 lemons.
Notes for people residing in Germany:
1/ Hobnobs aren't easy to get your hands on. Handelshof sell Hobbits, which are basically the same. If you are in Hamburg, then the English bookshop in Stresemannstrasse is the place to go for biscuits.
2/ Germans don't seem to make a distinction between "evaporated milk" and "condensed milk". The standard stuff you can buy which is labelled Kondensmilch (Germans put it in their coffee) is what the English call evaporated milk. What we need is condensed milk, which is much sweeter. If you mix sugar into the evaporated milk until it becomes sickly sweet then you get condensed milk.
Instructions:
Crush the biscuits, mix with the butter and brown sugar. Tip this mixture into a flat dish, and press it down.
Mix together the cream, condensed milk and the juice of the lemons. Tip this on top of the biscuit mix.
Put the dish in the fridge and wait for 2 hours.
That's it!

Try getting "Milchmädchen" if you need condensed milk - it comes in little tubes and it is terribly sweet! Btw, Phil, this stuff is also in the Sapperoco, the Canarian coffee you had on Sunday afternoon...
The comments from people who ate this included
"God, is that sweet!"
and
"I feel like I had a shot of sugar to the head"
In its present form I would serve it only to under eights, who will probably eat 3 slices and then throw up. For the next iteration I will try cutting down on the sugar, and adding a third lemon.
