📝 Ingredients

🥧 For the Pie:

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

🍦 For the Custard Filling:

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

🍯 For the Caramel Topping:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, for salted caramel twist)

🍽️ Instructions

🔧 Method: Making the Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and salt.
  5. Stir in milk and heavy cream until smooth and well blended.
  6. Pour this mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.

Baker’s tip: Use a pie shield or foil on the crust edge to prevent over-browning.

  1. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  2. Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

🔥 Method: Making the Caramel Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat.
  2. Let it melt without stirring until it turns a deep amber color.
  3. Carefully whisk in the cream (it will bubble), then add butter.
  4. Stir until smooth and thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes.

Optional: Stir in sea salt for a salted caramel finish.

🍰 Finishing the Pie

  1. Once the custard pie is chilled, pour the caramel sauce over the top.
  2. Spread gently with a spatula.
  3. Chill for 30 more minutes before slicing.

💕 Conclusion & Serving

This Creamy Caramel Custard Pie is a love letter to all things rich and indulgent. The tang of cream cheese, the silk of custard, and the golden magic of caramel — all housed in a buttery crust — make this dessert a masterpiece.
