Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for garnish

Equipment

  • 9 inch pie dish
  • Medium saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let the frozen pie crust thaw for 10 minutes, then prick with a fork.
  2. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes until light golden brown, then remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth; allow to cool for 2 minutes.
  4. Spread the melted chocolate evenly in the cooled crust and chill for 5 minutes until set.
  5. Pour and spread the caramel sauce over the chocolate layer, then chill for another 5 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy, then add vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  8. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined; spread this filling over the caramel layer.
  9. Cover loosely and refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
  10. Dust the top with cocoa powder before slicing for garnish and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for clean cuts.

Notes

Make the pie up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the refrigerator; for cleaner slices, warm the knife between cuts.
