Eagle Brand Caramel Pie Recipes

EAGLE BRAND CARAMEL (AKA DULCE DE LECHE)

Steps:

• Remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Do not open the can yet. Take the can and stick it in a pot. Cover it with water. Put the pot on a stove and turn up the heat. Let the pot and can simmer gently for about one and a half to two hours for runny caramel (dulce de leche), or up to four hours for solid dulce de leche. Add more water, as necessary, when the level boils down too much. Do not let the water level fall below the top of the can. When it's done, let it cool for a while, and then carefully open up the can and eat directly (for the solid variety) or use as a dessert spread (for the liquid variety). The resulting product should be colored tan or brown. It can then be spread into a prepared pie shell and covered in whip cream for an excellent pie, or I use it sometimes as a filling between layers of chocolate cakes. cook's notes You need to keep a close eye on the can. If it shows any signs of expansion, immediately remove it from the heat and let it cool. If you are concerned at all at the high-pressure nature of the recipe, you may poke a small hole in the top of the can, and lower the water level so that the can is not completely covered. This will allow the internal pressure of the can to be released, but it will also make the recipe take longer (since high pressure reduces cooking time).

EAGLE BRAND CARAMEL PIE

Steps:

• I opened one of my community cookbooks ("Recipes: Old and New, Tried and True 4th Edition"...North Lamar Young Homemakers of Texas, Area V Powderly, Texas) and found the instructions to the Eagle Brand caramel pie... Take the can of milk and remove label. Place UNOPENED can in saucepan and cover with water. Place lid on saucepan; boil over low heat for 3 hours. Remove can and LET COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPENING. (Note: Milk can be boiled the day before and placed in the refrigerator overnight to save time. You will need to place the milk into a bowl and stir to spreading consistency.) Place layer of bananas in bottom of crust; spread with a layer of caramelized milk and then a layer of whipped cream, Dream Whip or Cool Whip. Repeat with a second layer of each. Garnish top with banana slices. Refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. Posted to Bakery-Shoppe Digest V1 #451 by "Catherine M. Marler" on Dec 13, 1997
