SALTED CARAMEL NO-BAKE PIE INGREDIENTS

You’ll need:
- 1 (6-ounce) pre-made graham cracker crust
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups half and half cream
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
- ½ cup jarred salted caramel sauce
- 4 ounces whipped topping
- Additional salted caramel and 2 tablespoons 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
STEP ONE: Remove the plastic insert from your pre-made graham cracker crust.
PRO TIP:
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 for even more decadence and serve a slice of your yummy pie with a whipped hot chocolate or homemade pumpkin spice latte.

We love no-bake desserts and this delicious pie is no exception. The creamy cheesecake filling, gooey caramel and fluffy whipped cream topping make this an absolutely delectable treat. The hardest part of making this recipe will be waiting for this tasty pie to set.
