Indulging in a slice of salted caramel no-bake pie is, without a doubt, a divine experience for your taste buds.

The creamy texture of the caramel-infused filling, perfectly complemented by the savory crunch of the crumbled graham cracker crust, creates a sensational explosion of flavors in your mouth.

The hint of sea salt adds an irresistible savoriness to the otherwise sweet pie, making it a perfectly balanced and utterly scrumptious dessert.

You’ll need:

  • 1 (6-ounce) pre-made graham cracker crust
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup of powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 (3.4-ounce) box of instant vanilla pudding
  • 1½ cups of half & half cream
  • ½ cup of jarred salted caramel sauce
  • 4 ounces of whipped topping
  • Additional salted caramel and 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans for garnish

PRO TIP:

If you can not find jarred salted caramel sauce, you can easily stir ¼ teaspoon salt into your standard caramel sauce.

Substitutions And Additions

PUDDING: You can substitute instant chocolate pudding for the vanilla in this easy recipe for a chocolatey twist.

CARAMEL SAUCE: If you are going with chocolate pudding, you can also substitute jarred chocolate sauce for the salted caramel in this no-bake pie recipe.

CRUST: You can swap out the pre-made graham cracker crust for an Oreo cookie crust or even a pre-made nut crust. They would all be delicious.

TOPPING: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the pie along with the nuts and caramel sauce

HOMEMADE CRUST: If you can’t find a graham cracker crust at the grocery store or want to make your own crust, you can crush graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted butter and press cookie crumb mixture into a pie pan, and bake at 375°F for 7 minutes.

How To Make This Salted Caramel No-Bake Pie Recipe

Making this recipe is so quick and easy, especially since there is no baking required! Let’s dive into the instructions.

STEP ONE: Remove the plastic insert from your pre-made graham cracker crust. 

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Don’t forget to save that plastic covering from your pre-made pie crust. You will just flip it over (so that it creates a dome over your pie), place it on top of the prepared pie and then crimp the edges of the aluminum pan back onto the plastic. This creates the perfect lid for storage or transportation of your pie.

STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer on low, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 2 to 3 minutes or until creamy and smooth.

STEP THREE: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Place your pie into the refrigerator to chill while you make your next layer.

STEP FOUR: In another large bowl, beat together, on medium speed, the instant vanilla pudding and 1½ cups half & half for 2 minutes. Fold the salted caramel into the vanilla pudding until evenly incorporated.

STEP FIVE: Spread the salted caramel pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.

STEP SIX: On top of the caramel layer, spread the whipped cream topping. Garnish with an extra drizzle of caramel and chopped pecans.

STEP SEVEN: Refrigerate your salted caramel pie for 4 hours, or up to overnight, before slicing and serving.

PRO TIP:

Don’t skip the chilling step as this decadent pie needs time to firm up.

How To Serve

The layers of deliciousness in this pie are out of this world. Add a scoop of ice cream and an extra dollop of whipped cream for even more decadence.

Serve a slice of your yummy pie with a whipped hot chocolate or homemade pumpkin spice latte.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use a homemade crust for this recipe?

If you would like to make your own graham cracker crust for this recipe, you certainly can. Combine crushed graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons of butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 7 minutes at 375°F before continuing with the recipe.

If I can’t find salted caramel sauce, what can I use?

You can also use regular caramel sauce and add ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Can I freeze this no-bake salted caramel pie recipe?

We would not recommend freezing this pie as the texture would change because of the cream cheese. It’s best to make this pie fresh.
