Creamy Caramel Custard Pie

Prepare the Custard Layer:

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Place over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the custard mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Add the Caramel Layer:

Once the custard layer is set, carefully pour the caramel sauce over the top, spreading it to cover the custard evenly. You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought one for convenience.

If desired, pipe whipped cream around the edges of the pie for a decorative touch.

Chill the Pie:

Place the pie back in the refrigerator and chill for another hour to allow the caramel to set and the flavors to meld together.

Serve:

Slice the pie and serve chilled. Each slice will reveal a beautiful layer of creamy custard topped with glossy caramel, promising a taste that’s both smooth and sweet.
