Caramelized Condensed Milk

I have a great Key lime pie recipe. Sadly, my condensed milk is so old it had naturally caramelized. (Read turned brown and thick). Nobody would eat the pie. My answer to that (and to everything)--make it into a smoothie. I increased the milk to one cup and replaced the Key lime yogurt with a small slice of pie. I wonder how eatbetteramerica.com would feel about that.
