I made the mistake of trying to accomplish this recipe with a three month old in tow! It was a challenge, but very rewarding. Perfect if you want something a bit more sophisticated than an average pumpkin pie!
Hilly’s Pumpkin Caramel Pie Recipe
A nod to a classic pumpkin pie, with a twist! This pumpkin ganache caramel pumpkin pie is a sure stunner for your Thanksgiving table this year.
Ingredients
- recipe caramel
- recipe pie crust
- recipe pumpkin ganache
- recipe streusel
- pint heavy cream (optional: sweeten your whipped cream with 2 Tbsp confectioners sugar and a dash of vanilla extract if desired)
Assembly
- pour room temp (or slightly reheated) caramel into base of pie shell so the base is fully covered and level — place filled shell into fridge to firm up for 20 – 25 minutes.
- pour ganache over caramel and spread using offset spatula or spoon to make sure all caramel is covered.
- place in fridge ASAP, covered, to fully set — 4 – 5 hours, or ideally overnight. ganache should feel firm to the touch, should not stick to your fingers, and feel solid all the way through.
- serve pie cold, directly out of the fridge. top with fresh whipped cream, and streusel to serve.
