Equipment
- 9-inch Pie Plate
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Creamy Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 1 (13.4-ounce) can dulce de leche divided (2 tbsp reserved for topping)
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Garnish
- 1 cup additional whipped topping optional, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Easy Crust:
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are nicely moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for just 6-8 minutes until it's lightly golden. Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely while you get started on the filling.2. Whip the Creamy Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is wonderfully smooth and creamy. Measure out 2 tablespoons of the dulce de leche and set it aside for your topping later. Pour the rest of the dulce de leche into the cream cheese mixture and beat again until everything is perfectly combined and rich.3. Fold in the Fluff:
With your mixer running on a low speed, gently add the 8-ounce container of thawed whipped topping, about ½ cup at a time. Continue mixing until the topping is fully incorporated, and the filling looks light, airy, and free of streaks. Don't forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.4. Assemble and Chill:
Carefully pour your dreamy caramel filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. If you wish, you can gently spread an additional 1 cup of whipped topping over the pie for an extra layer of deliciousness. This makes it look even more inviting!5. Drizzle and Serve:
Briefly microwave the 2 tablespoons of reserved dulce de leche in 10-second bursts, stirring well after each, until it's thin enough to drizzle easily. Using a spoon, create beautiful swirls or delicate drizzles over the top of your pie. Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure it sets perfectly before you slice into this delightful, easy-to-make dessert.
