Description
This Decadent Caramel Cream Pie is a luxurious dessert that combines rich caramel with a creamy filling, all encased in a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-baked pie crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing a medium saucepan over medium heat and combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and corn syrup. Stir these ingredients occasionally, allowing them to melt and blend into a uniform mixture.
- Allow the mixture to bubble for about 3 to 4 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally. Once your mixture has achieved a golden brown hue, remove it from the heat.
- Carefully incorporate the heavy cream into your caramel base, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth blend. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
- Pour your freshly made caramel sauce into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Transfer your pie to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the caramel to set firmly.
