Rather than cooking the Dulce in the can (which can leach chemicals from the can into your product), pour a 14 oz can into a pint canning jar. Place the lid on the canning jar and then follow the recipe. An added benefit is that you can see how dark the Dulce is becoming through the jar, which you can't through a can. I also make it in my crockpot, cooking on high for 5-6 hours. Just make sure the water is to the level of the condensed milk. This pie is delicious but very calorie intense. I make it in half pint wide mouth canning jars and put the whipped cream on at the last minute. It makes for a cute serving container.

i made this recipe today and my husband and both my boys loved it!

This is an excellent pie although I cheated - just buy a graham cracker crust. Also, in the mexican food section in the store you can get a can of the carmel. I sat the can into hot water for awhile just to soften abit before pouring over the bananas. Put in refrigerator for at least an hour. Added the Cool whip before serving and what a treat this is. Everyone loved it. So simple to make

good.

Tried this for the first time, belatedly read about putting can on side so for the last 15minutes I turned it to the side and rotated a couple of times. Worked wonderful! Was careful opening can (a no brainer!) then before it cooled I mixed the ingredients from the bottom, just held can with potholder and stirred it up good. Made for lady's at Bunko, celebrating Cinco De Mayo, never had pie before and it was enjoyed by all! Great and easy recipe just got to use the brain a little!

Very rich. Love that. Used a 9"pan. Trying an 8" or smaller next time. Caramel filling (bought the premade can) very shallow. Used one large banana. Maybe part of the reason so low (yeah, it is). I don't think it needs more caramel. Wondering if I could "toss" two large or three smaller ones in the caramel, then spread. Couldn't easily spread on bananas, which I sliced & quartered. Seemed like too much whipped cream. Tried that two ways: 3/4c w/ 1T confec & 1/2t vanilla. Good, but too sweet for the caramel base. Second: 3/4c w/ 1/4t instant coffee & 1/2t confec sugar. By itself, needs more sugar - at least a little. On the pie, perfect. I also melted two bittersweet chocolate squares & spread that on the crust before filling. My recipe: 1 1/4c crumbs, 1/3c margarine, 2T sugar. Use margarine if chilling, not baking. Butter sticks to the pan. Either is fine if you bake it first. Mmmm. 'Thinking I may make the graham crust, sprinkle w/ mini choc chips; then bake it; then spread the chips that will be softened. The square wasn't a problem, just thinking chips may be easier to have it be more even. Oh, I chilled the bananas before slicing & again after filling the pie - before the whipped cream. Top w/ dark chocolate shavings.

I was short on time so I took a short cut and bought the dulce de leche in a jar instead of making it myself with the milk. I found the pie to be too sweet.

Awesome! Added cinnamon, allspice and clove to the premade dulce de leche and it came out perfect for my taste

This was very good . Made it for a crowd of 90.

DEELISH! I used fat free sweetened condensed milk - worked great!
