I also used mini chocolate chips since that is what I had on hand.

Did I mention the pie was AWESOME?

Tobias Cooks! – To be honest, getting slices of pie out without crumbling them to bits was the most difficult aspect of featuring this pie. So you wonder “how” I did it? Carefully. And slowly. Did I mention carefully?

Q – Yes, same thing. Dulce de Leche is just slowly heated, sweetened milk…as well as another name for the cooked, caramelized, sweetened condensed milk featured here. You can also find it already canned & prepared in groceries, but for folks that can’t (rural locations, etc.), I really wanted to include an example of how to make your own. (Besides, making homemade Dulce de Leche is half the fun!)

Gera – Yes. Cooking sweetened condensed milk slowly in a water bath is another way of making Dulce de Leche, and, as you know, there are other ways to cook it than the method I’ve shown here (fortunately, all of them taste great)!

Daniela & Lisa – Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Davie – Yes. It’s very similar to Banoffee Pie, except this version doesn’t have coffee-flavored cream. Otherwise, very similar tastes.

CookiePie, Karine, tokissthecook, Amanda, Cate & Kristin – Thank you, for all your kind comments.

Kristi – Sweetened condensed milk is fine, just don’t use evaporated milk—that won’t work. Have fun!

Maris – I love pecans too, but I’m so glad I didn’t top this pie with them. The crunchy, toffee bits are beyond compare.
