Caramel Cream Pie Recipe
Looking for the perfect holiday pie? This Caramel Cream Pie is delicious with a creamy caramel cheesecake filling, topped with whipped cream and dulce de leche.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust baked, 9 inch
- 1 can Dulce de Leche caramel 13.4 ounce, divided
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Bake pie crust according to package (or recipe) directions. Cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup of dulce de leche and powdered sugar. Set aside.
- In a clean and COLD mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with granulated sugar for a couple minutes until stiff peaks form. Remove about 1/2 cup of the whipped cream and reserve it for the garnish.
- To the remainder of the whipped cream, fold in the caramel cream cheese mixture until fully blended. With the remaining dulce de leche, reserve about 1-2 Tablespoons for garnish.
- Spread the remainder of the dulce de leche in the bottom of your cooled pie crust. Top with caramel cream mixture. Top with reserved whipped cream. Melt the remaining 1-2 Tablespoons of dulce de leche in microwave and drizzle over pie. Refrigerate pie for 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Use a cold mixing bowl when making the caramel pie filling. This helps the cream form stiff peaks as you beat it for perfect consistency.
- Heat leftover dulce de leche in the microwave. It will soften to an ideal consistency for drizzling over the top of the finished caramel cream pie.
- Swap out the homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip if you prefer.
- Store pie in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Or freeze pie in airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
