There’s nothing a like a cold dessert during the warmer months. And, this one is a real doozie. Modeled after the caramel pie served at O’Charley’s restaurants, this pie is served cold and features the flavors of caramel, whipped cream, pecans, garnished with bits of chocolate on top. It’s a sweet tooth’s dream, but even people who don’t always love sweet things seem to really enjoy this dessert.
There are some people who take the dangerous risk of making their own dulce le leche at home using cans of sweetened condensed milk. The problem with this is that it requires 3 hours of constant supervision. If you don’t keep the cans covered in water at all times then there is a strong possibility of the cans exploding, which sounds like a scary and sticky mess. Not only that, but you might not end up with the right consistency or flavor.
