How to make this delicious Caramel Creamy Pie

This pie is easy to make, and there’s not much work involved in preparing it.

Start by making the pie crust. Mix the graham crackers, butter and pecans in a food processor, until it resembles wet sand.

Lightly spray with cooking spray the sides and bottom of an 9 inch pie plate. Pour the graham cracker crumbs into your prepared pan, and use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press it firmly on the bottom and sides of the pan. Use your fingers to pack it tightly if necessary to ensure a firm crust. Place the homemade crust in the freezer while making the filling.

For the filling, beat the heavy cream with a whisk attachment or an electric mixer in high speed until stiff peaks form and set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese for 1 minute. Add dulce de leche and mix until incorporated. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt and mix.

Fold in the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Pour into your prepared crust in an even layer and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

With a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract, until stiff peaks form. Cut the pecans in small pieces and add them along with the chocolate chips on top of the pie, drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve it as is or along a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Expert tips for the perfect pie

• When the fat in the heavy cream is cold while beating, it helps in making it light and airy, and it holds better its shape. For this reason and to accelerate the process of making your whipped cream, you can freeze the whisk and metal bowl for 10 minutes before using them
• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating, this will ensure you don’t end up with a lumpy filling
• Let the pie set for at least 6 hours before serving, otherwise it won’t hold everything in place and will be too soft to serve

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Substitute the graham crackers for Oreos for an Oreo cookie crust
• Add bananas and walnuts to the top of the pie instead, and drizzle with caramel for a caramel banana cream pie
• Add a teaspoon of cocoa plus 2 extra tablespoons of granulated sugar to your whipped topping, and drizzle with chocolate instead, for a chocolate caramel version.

How long will my Homemade Caramel Pie last?

Leftover pie will last refrigerated for up to five days. Make sure it’s stored in an airtight container.

Can I freeze my Caramel pie?

You can definitely freeze this pie! you can make it ahead of time, let it set in the refrigerator and cover tightly to avoid any freezer burn and ice crystals. If you’re not sure your container closes tightly, place a piece of plastic wrap between the container and the lid, then secure with the lid tightly.
