Ingredients
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
- 3 cans, 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Directions
- Remove labels from cans of sweetened condensed milk. Place cans unopened into a large and deep pot of water. Make sure there is enough to water to cover the cans with at least 2-3 inches of water.
- Bring pot of water with the cans inside to a boil. Boil for 3 hours. While cans are boiling, add water as needed to ensure the cans are always fully covered with water. This will prevent cans from bursting or leaking.
- After 3 hours, carefully remove cans from pot and allow them to cool on the counter top for 1 hour or more until they have cooled to room temperature.
- Carefully open cans and use spatula to scrape caramel into a large bowl. Stir in vanilla extract and continue stirring until mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Pour caramel pie filling into graham cracker crust. Refrigerate until firm.
- Chill small mixing bowl and beaters then beat heavy cream along with sugar until cream forms a stiff peak. Spread fresh whipped cream on top of the pie or use a piping tip to decorate the pie with whipped cream.
Notes
To make Caramel Filling in the Instant Pot:
- Place sealed cans of sweetened condensed milk in the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
- Add water to cover 2/3 of the can.
- Set Instant Pot to High Pressure for 35 minutes. Set valve to sealing.
- When finished cooking, quick-release the pressure.
- Allow to cool completely before opening.
To make Caramel Filling in Crock Pot:
- Place sealed cans of sweetened condensed milk in the Crock Pot.
- Add water to completely cover the can.
- Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Allow cans to cool completely before opening.
- If desired, you can top the pie with Cool Whip or commercially prepared whipped cream instead of homemade whipped cream.
- You can make a homemade pie crust with freshly crushed graham cracker crumbs. Crush 12 full-sized graham crackers using a rolling pin or food processor then stir in 6 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes until golden brown.
