"This is from the book by John Grisham called Skipping Christmas. It was made into a movie called Christmas with the Kranks. The Caramel Cream Pie was what Nora was running around trying to get ingrediants for in time."

ingredients

1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping

directions

Place the cans of sweetened condensed milk (labels off, unopened) in a large pot; bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 3 hours, making sure the water stays above the cans. Let cool 1 hour. CAREFULLY open the cans and scoop contents into large bowl. Fold in the marshmallow cream. Pour into pie shell. Chill in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Serve topped with whipped topping. When cooked that long, the sweetened condensed milk turns into caramel.

Questions & Replies

I'm a curious sort so I can't help but wonder why in the movie she says she needs 2lbs of caramels, yet after searching and searching I can only find recipes with the sweetened condensed milk. Is there a recipe with caramels or just the this one with the cooked sweetened condensed milk caramel?

I'm giving it four stars even though me and my husband didn't eat the pie we only each had like one piece one day and one the next and then we threw it out. The reason being is it was entirely too sweet and let me say we love sweet stuff I literally make homemade caramel to smother our pancakes in. It was just way too sweet. I threw it out to make my chocolate chess pie in replacement of it and that is a super sweet Pie... this was a disgusting sweet I don't know how to explain it , I would not suggest anyone make this I have read other recipes were people add softened cream cheese to the recipe I definitely plan on trying that I can see how it can make it be not so sweet but then again cream cheese is very rich.
