Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder or 1 box chocolate brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Caramel Layer

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Optional Additions

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
  • White or dark chocolate chips
  • Fresh raspberries or sliced bananas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by making a simple, buttery crust by combining the all-purpose flour, cubed cold butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Press the dough evenly into your pie pan and bake for around 10 minutes until lightly golden. This base is crucial for holding all the layers without becoming soggy.
  2. Mix the Brownie Batter: Whip together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, cocoa powder or brownie mix, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and glossy. The batter should be thick but pourable, ready to spread over the pre-baked crust for a fudgy texture.
  3. Add the First Brownie Layer and Bake: Pour half of the brownie batter over the crust. Bake partially until the bottom layer is set but not fully cooked to create a sturdy foundation before adding the caramel.
  4. Pour on the Caramel Layer: Once the bottom brownie layer has slightly set, gently drizzle the caramel sauce over it, spreading evenly. This luscious layer adds gooey richness and contrasts beautifully with the chocolate base.
  5. Top With Remaining Brownie Batter: Spoon or spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, creating a sandwich of gooey caramel between brownie layers. Bake again until fully cooked and edges begin to pull slightly away from the pan.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely to allow the caramel to set for clean slices. Serve as is or garnish with whipped cream, flaky sea salt, or desired toppings.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa or chocolate for richer flavor.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep brownies tender.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully before slicing to prevent caramel from oozing.
  • Line or grease the pie pan well to avoid sticking.
  • Adjust caramel thickness to control gooeyness.
