Description
A rich and indulgent dessert, this Decadent Caramel Brownie Pie combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a fudgy chocolate brownie filling and a gooey caramel center, perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- Melt ½ cup butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until glossy.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the cooled crust. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt if using. Spread the remaining batter on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is fudgy. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
- Cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing, or serve warm for a gooey texture. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or extra caramel drizzle.
Notes
- For an extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the brownie batter.
- Use high-quality caramel sauce for best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, microwave individual slices for 15–20 seconds.
