Easy Caramel Cream Pie
Start by preheating your oven. Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon, then press into a pie pan and bake until golden. Let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.
Equipment
- 9-inch pie pan
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
Crust
- 1.25 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- 6 tbsp melted butter
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 13.4 ounce can dulce de leche divided (reserve 2 tablespoons for topping)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Topping (Optional)
- 1 cup Cool Whip optional, for topping
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. In a bowl, simply mix the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until everything is nicely moistened. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides.
- Bake for just 6-8 minutes until it's golden. Let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.
- While the crust cools, grab a large bowl and beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar using an electric mixer until it's smooth and creamy.
- Remember to set aside 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche for later. Add the rest of the dulce de leche to your cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
- Now, gently fold in the 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip, about half a cup at a time, until it's fully blended and the filling is light and airy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is mixed.
- Pour your fluffy caramel filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly. If you like, spread an additional cup of Cool Whip over the top for an extra creamy layer.
- Take your reserved 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche and warm it gently in the microwave for 10-second bursts, stirring in between, until it's thin enough to drizzle. Spoon this warm caramel over the whipped topping.
- Finally, place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours – this helps it set perfectly before you slice and enjoy!
