I made this pie for my husband after he saw it on her show. I had to bake the milk for 2 hours before it started to caramelize I only took it out because I was afraid I was ruining it. I let the pie rest overnight and this morning it looks like a big pile of goo in a pie plate. I am not sure if I should try to bake it some or refrigerate it all day to help it set up some. I really hope it tastes good!

I am a huge fan of Paula's and have made many of her savory dishes. I thought I'd try out this sweet recipe, but am sorry to say ended up being a waste of my effort and money. This "pie" is little more than a gooey, disgustingly sweet, pile of slop. My family and I were very disappointed. It's sweeter than any packaged, convenience store sweet treat.

I agree that cans of unopened condensed milk can be boiled- just be VERY CAREFUL. My aunt is English and makes this pie all the time. She always boiled her cans until recently--when a can exploded in her kitchen launching the scalding milk all over the ceiling and in her face. She know does it by the oven method.

I usually love your recipes but this was a disaster. I refrigerated it over nite planning to put the topping on before dinner with friends. It looked like it did not set up so we served it in bowls with the whipped cream on top. I was so embarrassed. And I could not even eat it - a giant sugar rush- ended up throwing about at least 1/3 of it down the drain. Please modify the recipe to make it work and cut the sugar.

I made this pie for a summer dinner with my dad and boyfriend. The pie tasted pretty good, but it was really really goey to dish out and did not look very appetizing.

The only change that I made in this recipe was that I baked the condensed milk for around 2 to 2 and a half hours. I took the recipe into my old office for a going away party, and people would not let me leave until I promised to forward the recipe to them...It is sweet, but excellent.

I amde this pie for my Mother on Mother's Day. Let me tell you she absolutely loved it!! I've made it twice since then at her and my Father's request. Fattening or not, this recipe is amazing and so very simple. Next it's the company bake off. I'm sure it'll be the winner. God bless and thank you Paula!!

I had some sweetened condensed milk on hand, so I tried the oven method. I didn't really have the right sized pan, so I increased the heat to 425 degrees. It worked fine until I got impatient when it was almost done and removed the foil. BIG MISTAKE - it started to scorch on top within 2-3 minutes. I quickly removed it from the oven and stirred it. It tasted fine, but the scorch made it look less than pretty. I ran to the store for a can of Dulce de Leche and used that instead. The pie was good, but my children (who had stuck their fingers in the rejected milk commented that I should have just used the "less than pretty" homemade because it tasted much better. They were right - in this case the sacrifice of look would have been a better choice because you really can taste the difference.

Next time, I will try to thicken the milk using a double boiler.

I also decided to use only one layer of toffee and bananas, which I then topped with pudding (banana flavored and whipped cream. This was really good, and my children said that without the pudding the pie would have been untolerably sweet.

I have tried this pie several ways and I found that if you boil the unopened cans of condensed milk for 3 hours its perfect, just make sure you add more boiling water to the pan. You can also boil many cans, as they keep unopened for a long time. I have done the bananas, fantastic and I have done it with sauteed apples which is fantastic, tastes like a caramel apple. I also do it the traditional way and use instant coffee in my whipped cream, I have also done it with cool whip free to cut down on some cals, I've even tried it with store bought graham cracker crust, not as great but still good. It is sweet and definitely gooey but I find that most people like that even if they say they don't, lol. I think you could do several other variations with this.
