Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Optional: sea salt, chopped nuts, toffee bits, or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the caramel filling to lighten it.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the surface.
- Top with remaining whipped cream, either spread evenly or piped decoratively.
- Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top. Garnish with sea salt, toffee bits, or chopped nuts if desired.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Notes
- Chill the crust before filling to help it hold its shape.
- Use thick, high-quality caramel for best results.
- Homemade whipped cream is recommended for the best flavor and texture.
- Freeze for a firmer, ice cream-like texture on hot days.
- For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped between cuts.
