Here’s the full recipe for Rich and Gooey Caramel Brownie Pie.
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Brownie Filling
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Caramel Layer
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Prepare the brownie filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients: Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined.
- Layer the caramel: Pour half the brownie batter into the cooled crust. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel to cover it completely.
- Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brownie layer is set but still fudgy in the center.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. For the best experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra caramel sauce.
