O'CHARLEY'S CARAMEL PIE

O'CHARLEY'S CARAMEL PIE

I never even heard of this pie till I read that Kenny Chesney's favorite dessert was from a restaurant called O'Charley's in Tennessee. I thought boiling cans of condensed milk was crazy and that it would explode everywhere but it has always turned out perfect. Very rich so serve small pieces. ;)


Original version:

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

In a large pot, place the can of sweetened condensed milk with the label taken off, in the pot and cover with water. Cook on high until water comes to a boil, then turn on medium/high for 4 hours, only adding water to keep the can covered.
Carefully open can and pour into pie shell. Cool pie in refrigerator. When completely cooled, top with frozen whipped topping. Serve.
