How to Make Caramel Chocolate Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup (56g) melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 14 oz (397g) caramels, 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) water, stirring constantly until smooth.
  5. Pour caramel mixture into the cooled crust. Sprinkle with ½ cup pecan halves and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz (227g) cream cheese and ⅓ cup (35g) powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled caramel layer. Refrigerate.
  8. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt 6 oz (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons (45ml) hot water until smooth.
  9. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and 2 tablespoons (14g) powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Reserve 1 ½ cups for topping.
  11. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream.
  12. Spread the chocolate whipped cream over the cream cheese layer.
  13. Top with the reserved whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate curls (see note).
  14. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
