Caramel Cream Pie
1 nine inch pie crust, baked and cooled
2 packages (four serving size) instant vanilla pudding
3 cups heavy whipping cream (35%)
thick caramel sauce, as needed
Beat the pudding mixes and cream together for a couple minutes until thickened. Spread a good layer of caramel sauce in the bottom of the pie crust. Top with the pudding filling. Drizzle more caramel sauce over top, then use a fork to swirl it around.
This is such a simple pie - another one of my 'cheat' cream pies using pudding mix. Alternately, the filling could be made from scratch as well, and any type of pie crust could be used - even shortbread, graham crumb, or chocolate crumb. Caramel isn't one of the typical cream pie fillings, and here caramel is just used on the top and the bottom, with a vanilla filling in between. However, this pie was a huge crowd pleaser, largely due both to its taste and its uniqueness.
