I have been making this for years and years. I usually make at least 4 at a time since they take so long, though, mine only take 2 1/2 hours. I put the cans in the pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Then I start the time, adding water as needed and boil for 2 1/2 hours. I have never had a problem if the water was not covering the cans as long as you don't let the water all go, then it will have a burn taste. Then I put the cans in the sink and pour cold water over till I can handle to cans. Open, pour in a bowl and wisk till smoth and pour into 4 reg baked pie crust. When they cool spred the cool whip and then I sprinkle with either nuts or shaved chocoalt. I think I will try some with some canned apploes in the bottom-caramel apple pie! Personal taste, but I think they are better in a baked crust rather than graham. Also I think they taste a whole lot better tahn O"Charlies pies!

You can cook your condensed milk in the presure cooker. Leave the can sealed and put water in the cooker. Once the cooker has started to jiggle, I turned down the heat and let it cook for 30 minutes. Let the pressure go down on its own. Works great!!

Haven't tried this yet, but know it will work. I've been hunting this recipe for more than 10 years! The wife of a Southern Illinois pastor/dairy farmer made it for a Bible study group party, and it was incredible. I've been searching for the recipe for years to no avail, and tried to make it myself only to create a goopy mess. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Terrific and easy. I got several compliments at my church party last night - thanks! I added chopped pecans and then drizzled Hersheys dark chocolate syrup on the top.

This pie is rich, delicious, and easy...a couple of tips though... It takes 2 cans to fill one pie crust, and make sure cans are completely submerged in the water at all times. If the water evaporates and leaves the top of the cans dry, the caramel will have uneven texture and may taste "grainy"

Rich, rich, rich! To make the English "Banoffee Pie", add 1 1/2 pounds of sliced bananas on top of the caramel and top with fresh whipped cream with a small amount of instant coffee dissolved in it before beating. *CAUTION It is extremely important to add more boiling water frequently during the cooking of the sweetened condensed milk. 4 hours is a long time and if it is allowed to boil dry the can will explode causing a mess and possibly injury.

i had no idea this was how you made caramel. it was excellent caramel. really rich, though. i think the pie is a little plain, but this gets 5 stars for showing me how ot make great caramel. just would be better with chocolate worked into the pie or something.

advice...follow directions people! this is good if you like, and i mean really like caramel. when you initially pour out the caramel, it is a little soupish but it will not look like that when it's served. once topped with cool whip, it's beautiful. i gave 5 stars because it's exactly what the recipe says it is and easy to make but i personally thought it was bland and boring.

Okay this recipe is close to the recipe the waitress gave me at O'Charleys restaurant but you use 2 cans cond. milk and only boil for 2 hours , you then cover with whipped topping and mini chocolate chips and pecan pieces. It is DIVINE !!!!!!!

I wortked at O'Charley's restaturant and this is their recipe exactly - except they boil the large cans. I make this for family holidays using 2 small cans of low fat or fat free sweetented condensed milk. You have to put it in a bowl and "whip" it for a minute to get the lumps out. Everyone loves it! Try nuts and whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I made this pie for Thanksgiving. It reminded me of O'Charley's Ooey Gooey Caramel pie. I made the sweetened condensed milk for 4 hrs and a day ahead of time so it would be just right to put in the graham cracker shell. I made it and after the first piece was taken out it started to run to the open space. Should I have whipped it with mixer or what. It was thick and creamy when I put it in the pie shell. I made sure to keep it refrigerated but it sunk in anyway. What can I do next time to keep it from sinking into the extra space? I want it to hold like pies should. Please tell me what I should do next time. E-mail me at lori76@cox.net

I wondering if some of the other cooks didn't let the milk completely cool before judging pie. I let milk cool completely, apx. 3 hrs in the can, and then placed in the shell. Came out fine and was very rich and tasty. For sure will cure the sweet tooth! Spkinkled a sifting of cocoa on top.

I make this pie all the time, everyone seems to love it. I use a regular flour crust, I think that a graham cracker crust would be too sweet. Cut it into small slices...it is very rich!
