Easy Caramel Pie

Recipe Description

My Caramel Pie is the perfect way to end a meal, sweet and luxurious. Have you ever heard of banoffee pie? It’s a British dessert with layers of banana and caramel. And it’s the first time I had ever heard of making caramel by boiling a can of condensed milk! I have no idea how someone discovered it, but I can tell you that it works!

Boil the can for 4 hours, keeping the water topped up so it doesn’t boil dry and once it’s cool enough to handle, you’ll open it to find the milk has transformed into a silky toffee caramel! Which is just perfect spread on a prebaked crust with a whipped frosting on top, decadent and delicious!

To make Caramel Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
