Most Decadent Chocolate Caramel Pie EVER!!!

Pin It Now!

 Oh BOY... Chocolate Pie!

BUT by no means is this an ordinary Chocolate Pie.  No, No, this is about the most decadent Chocolate pie you could imagine.  Loaded wit deep rich dark chocolate, beautiful dark color with a layer of fresh made soft caramel between a crumble cookie crust and that Sweet Creamy Chocolate decadence!

Oh My Indeed, Oh Boy indeed!

This is a bit of a complicated seeming recipe.  You will make your own scrstch caramel from brown sugar, butter and a bit of heavy cream (remember, decadent).  You will make the thick "pudding" from scratch.  and you will make that crumble fudgy cookie crust.  Seemingly complicated, but honestly, very easy when you separate each step.

Any novice cook can make this and just wait until you get the Oohs and Aahs from your guests.  This is a company "dressed to impress" dessert.  Do not try to eat this alone.

Celebrate and enjoy!

But don't you love the pie plate?  I splurged recently and bought a couple of "presentation" pie plates.  Something with a little rustic style that helps make my desserts shine.  These are heavy stoneware, perfect for getting an even bake for your fruit pies but make your cold pies glow as well...



Worth ever cent... here's the recipe...
