No, I think that the carmel pie is made with sweetened condensed milk. I have heard that it can be browned in the can (unopened) by boiling it in water for hours. I have never done this successfully. Betty Jane

Is this it? I haven't tried it, I got it off a blog and she said it was delicious.
2 chocolate cookie crumb readymade pie crusts
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk, divided
3/4 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream, divided (or 1 tub whipped topping)
1 teaspoon sugar (not needed if you are using whipped topping)
2 ounces semisweet chocolate
Directions
Carmelize:
Remove the label from one can of sweetened condensed milk. Put the can in a pot big enough to cover it with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Boil the can for three and a half hours, turning it over every fifteen minutes to half hour. Make sure that the can is always submerged in the boiling water - add more water if necessary (bring it to a boil in a tea kettle before adding it or you will affect the caramelization process). After three and a half hours drain the water out of the pot, and let the can cool for one hour.
Meanwhile:
While the can of carmelized milk is cooling, make your whipped cream. (You know it's so much better than whipped topping. You know it. C'mon, man, just do it.) In a large bowl, beat the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form and set aside, being careful not to over-whip because you'll end up with butter. In another large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the other can of sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter and beat until smooth. Mix in vanilla. Fold in 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping; save the rest for garnish.
Back to the Caramel:
Open the can of caramel. Be extra careful while doing this as the caramel has a tendency to be very excited about leaving its prision, and the last thing you want is to get your fingers in something that will latch on and burn. Spread caramel into both crusts with the back of a spoon or a spatula, filling between 1/8 and 1/4 of the crusts. You will likely have some left over. You could just add it to the pies, but do so with caustion because it is painfully supersweet. Divide the peanut butter mixture evenly between crusts.
Decoration:
Break apart chocolate and put into a small plastic baggie. Microwave on low (aka Defrost or 50% power) for 15 seconds at a time, turning it over, until melted. Be careful not to overcook and burn your chocolate! When it is all melted, squish it towards one bottom corner of the plastic baggie and use scissors to cut off just the very tip of the corner. (Think a hole just larger than 2 pinholes side by side.) Squeeze bag to put chocolate on top in any design you like – I simply went side to side and then up and down for a lattice effect.
Add extra whipped cream/whipped topping around

One can buy carmalized condensed milk in many Mexican isles of your supermarkets, especially if you live in an area with a large Latino population. I have made the carmalized condensed milk as mentioned in another post. I make about 4 cans at a time, it is great as a fruit dip! Don't forget to keep the can submerged completely or they can explode.

I have used the sweetened condensed milk boiled in the can many times for pies. I believe they used to be a restraunt in Tn named Charlie or Old Charlies that served it.
I always used a premade chocolate crust. Put 2 cans of the sweet milk into a large pot and cover well with boiling water very low boil for 2 hours and keep adding water to keep the cans covered. Remove and let them cool well before opening. Smooth into crust, refrigerate and when cold serve with whipped cream. The milk turns carmel color.
Very good & very sweet.

Rich Caramel Tart
pastry:
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 cup SR flour
Method:
Cream butter and sugar,add egg and sifted flour. Roll out and line a pie plate - bake until light brown.
Filling:
2 egg yolks - keep whites separate
.5lb brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour (plain or corn)
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons water
pinch salt, vanilla
Method:
Place ingredients in saucepan, stir over heat until thickened.
Pour into cooked pastry shell.
Beat eggwhites with a little castor sugar until stiff and place over the caramel mixture.
(half a teaspoon of gelatine dissolved in a little hot water can be added to help whites stiffen while beating)
Cook in oven until brown.
I am not too sure that you can get gelatine in the USA any more? The recipe will still work without it.
It was one my Grandmother used, and is delicious.
