- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce, for drizzle
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar, then stir in melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and ¼ cup water over medium heat. Without stirring, cook until the sugar turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully whisk in butter and heavy cream until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and sea salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry.
- In another saucepan, heat milk and condensed milk until warm.
- Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and prepared caramel sauce. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Pour the caramel filling into the prepared crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, pipe or spoon whipped cream on top and drizzle with extra caramel sauce.
Notes
- Be cautious when making caramel—hot sugar can burn easily.
- For best results, chill the pie overnight.
- Use a deep-dish pie plate to prevent overflow.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
