Ingredients
Scale
Pie
- 1 (9 inch) pre-baked pie crust
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Salted Caramel Sauce & Topping
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce, divided
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Pour half of the salted caramel sauce into the pumpkin mixture and stir thoroughly to integrate the caramel flavor.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly to prepare for baking.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, indicating the filling is set.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- Add Final Caramel Drizzle: Before serving, drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce over the top of the chilled pie for a gorgeous presentation and extra flavor.
- Optional Whipped Cream Topping: Serve with whipped cream dollops on top if desired, enhancing the creaminess and complementing the caramel pumpkin flavors.
Notes
- Make sure to use a pre-baked pie crust to avoid sogginess, as the filling is not baked inside a raw crust.
- The pie requires refrigeration time to fully set after baking for the best texture and flavor.
- For pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Salted caramel sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on your preference.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smooth filling.
