Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)

For the Chocolate Cream Layer:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (divided)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or crushed toffee (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. Add the Caramel Layer:

  1. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the chilled crust. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Return to the refrigerator while preparing the chocolate cream.

3. Make the Chocolate Cream:

  1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

4. Assemble the Pie:

  1. Spread the chocolate cream evenly over the caramel layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

5. Add the Topping and Serve:

  1. Top the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or crushed toffee as desired.
  2. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made up to 2 days in advance. Add the toppings just before serving for the best presentation.
  • Crust Variations: Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham crackers for extra richness.
  • Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
