Ingredients
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel candies (wrapped)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Begin by sprinkling the toasted pecans evenly over the base of your pie crust. This layer of pecans will provide a delightful crunch and a hint of nutty flavor that complements the rich chocolate and caramel layers beautifully.
-
-
Make the Caramel Layer:
- In a heatproof glass bowl, combine the caramel candies and evaporated milk. Microwave on medium power, stirring occasionally, until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Once melted, stir the caramel mixture thoroughly to ensure itโs completely smooth.
- Pour this silky caramel mixture over the layer of pecans in the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Set aside as you prepare the chocolate layer.
-
Prepare the Chocolate Truffle Filling:
- In a separate heatproof glass bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, and butter. Microwave on medium power, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is melted and smooth. This should take around 1 to 2 minutes. Stir well until the mixture is glossy and completely combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate truffle filling over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the caramel layer completely.
-
Chill the Pie:
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor. For the best results, allow the pie to come to approximately room temperature before serving, as it enhances the flavors and texture.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, you may wish to garnish the pie for an extra touch of elegance. Pipe whipped cream or Cool Whip around the edge of the pie, or spoon a dollop onto each individual slice. For a beautiful presentation, drizzle raspberry puree or place a few fresh raspberries around each slice on the serving plate. This adds a burst of color and a hint of tartness that balances the richness of the chocolate and caramel.
