Caramel Cream Pie With Crispy Rice Topping Food

CARAMEL CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Add the sugar to a small saucepan over low heat. Gently stir the mixture.
• The sugar will starts to form lumps. Continue to gently stir. It will eventually turn into a smooth amber liquid without lumps.
• Carefully add in the chopped butter. Whisk until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream until the mixture is smooth. Allow the caramel to cool. Note: this recipe will make about 1 cup total of caramel sauce - you will not use all of it in the caramel filling for the pie.
• Add the cookies (wafers and filling) to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs. Or place in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Place in the fridge as you make the filling.
• In a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and cooled 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce
• Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and even.
• Spoon the mixture into the cookie crust and smooth the top.
• Cover the pie plate, and place in the fridge for 6 hours to set before serving.
• Beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks form.
• Spread the whipped cream over top of the pie, and drizzle with more caramel sauce.
• Slice pieces using a thin, sharp knife (not a table knife) being sure to slice all the way through the crust. I find the first piece can be a little hard to get out of the pie plate, but after that, they cut more easily.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS CARAMEL CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Place the cans of sweetened condensed milk (labels off, unopened) in a large pot; bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 3 hours, making sure the water stays above the cans. Let cool 1 hour. CAREFULLY open the cans and scoop contents into large bowl. Fold in the marshmallow cream. Pour into pie shell. Chill in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Serve topped with whipped topping. When cooked that long, the sweetened condensed milk turns into caramel.
