With just a handful of ingredients, including sweetened condensed milk transformed into luscious caramel through a clever stovetop technique, this no-fuss recipe is perfect for caramel lovers. A buttery graham cracker crust cradles the creamy caramel filling, which is topped with a cloud-like layer of whipped cream sweetened with powdered sugar and vanilla. Garnish with chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle for a show-stopping finish. Ready in just minutes of prep time and perfect for any occasion, this easy caramel pie is a must-have for your dessert repertoire.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the labels from the cans of sweetened condensed milk. Place the unopened cans in a large pot and cover them completely with water.
Bring the water to a gentle boil, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cook the cans for 2 hours. Ensure the cans are always fully submerged in water to prevent any mishaps.
After 2 hours, carefully remove the cans from the water using tongs and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. This step turns the sweetened condensed milk into a rich caramel filling.
Once the caramel has cooled, open the cans and spread the caramel evenly into the graham cracker crust.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and fluffy topping.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the caramel layer in the pie.
If desired, garnish the top with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel for a decorative touch.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to set before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Easy Caramel Pie!
