Dulce De Leche Pie

This is a dulce de leche pie

Okay. But so, sweetened condensed milk. Uh-huh. Back in the day, my mother, she would go in the cupboard

and take, you know, like one of these and dip a spoon in it

This is what my grandmother told me. And so she'd go to make a pie, and one can would be missing

And so she said to my mom, my mom's name was Janie Queen. Janie Queen

Janie Queen. She said, Janie Queen, where is that can of sweetened condensed milk

I'm just going to cover it. Okay. Well, she caught my mother stealing it

And my grandmother said she was going to take her to jail because she was stealing

And she grabbed her by the hand, Paula, and literally took her up the steps of the jail

And my mom thought she was going to get arrested. And that traumatized your mama

She said, I don't like condensed milk anymore. That's why. All right, now what are you going to do with that

Why are you putting it in that container? I just put the two cans

I'm going to cover it with aluminum foil. And then we're going to put it back here on the stove in a water bath

Okay. You could grab, actually, your roasting pan. Okay. And we just going to sit that in there and pour the hot water around it Exactly And then we going to pop this in the oven 425 for about an hour to an hour and a half or so and stir it occasionally lift this up

Actually, you know what, Paulie? You know it would be better if you do it like that. Then that way, when you go in there to stir it

If you didn't have that water bath, there's a good chance it would scorch it. Exactly

All right, so what temperature are we putting this on, Cheryl? 425. 425? That's kind of hot

It is hot. So it's going to be like a caramelized milk when it's done

Okay. It's going to be really brown and caramelized. It'll turn a beautiful, beautiful brown

And that's what makes it a dulce de leche pie. Okay, yay. All right, now you've got some butter in here

Do you want me to melt that? I do. Well, you are the expert at making these pies

No, honey, I've never made this kind of pie. Well, no, but doing the crust of graham cracker crust, I know

Yes, yes. So you want me to melt that butter. Yes, melt the butter. We've got our graham crackers

Right, exactly. We're going to use probably two cups. See? Two cups

And you probably can tell me this better than me. And how much brown sugar? Oh, I don't know

I would say about a quarter of a cup. So then we've just got to stick a butter in here, melt them down

That perfect So 350 350 16 minutes Yep In we go Meanwhile why don we make the topping

Okay. Paul, all I do is fresh whipped cream. Mm-hmm. It's just heavy cream

If you could put like about a quarter cup of confectioner's sugar. Okay

Yes, and I'm gonna step back. You know what? Actually, I like to start a little lower on my whipped cream. Uh-huh

And that's exactly the way I do it. And then when I'm ready to rock and roll, I'll do that

Okay, so it won't get all over my clothes. Rocking and rolling

Doesn't make for exciting TV, but it sure does keep me clean

Sometimes, Paula, I'll put a little of that really good sea salt on top when I'm putting it in the oven

So it's almost like a salted caramel. Dulce de leche. So here we are

Dulce de leche. So all you do is you pour it in there. All right, now we're going to be able to slice that

You know what? We're going to eat it like this now, but you can also chill it down

Okay. So, but, Paula, it's that easy. So, yeah, you can chill it down and then you can cut it, but it's going to be good just like this

Let's slice some bananas. This is our healthy component Ah ah Ah

And this is perfect. But just, you know, pile it on top

You don't have to do anything fancy. This is like a homespun dessert

And then, Paul, you want a great top one? Yes. I think that's good

Mm-hmm. I think what you say, let's taste it. Now, you know when we cut this, it's going to go everywhere

It is. It is. But, you know, it's all good. Oh, my gosh, y'all

This is one of those things you need to eat alone, Cheryl. Oh, in a closed room

In a closed room. Look at that. Yum. We're going to have to tilt this

Next time, we're going to have to chill it. We're going to have to tilt that up in the refrigerator kind of like that

But it's all good. It looks homemade. It is homemade. I'm not the bigger piece, Cheryl

That's okay. Okay. There's still more pie. Are you ready? Oh, my gosh

Paula, this has been so fun. Cheryl. All right. I always have the best time with you, honey

I always have the best time with you, too. Mmm. That was so good

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm
