Rich Gooey Caramel Brownie Pie (Print Version)

Fudgy brownie, gooey caramel, and buttery graham crust combine for an irresistible chocolate treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Brownie Filling

04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
05 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
11 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
12 - Pinch of salt
13 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

→ Caramel Layer

14 - 1/2 cup caramel sauce
15 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray or butter.
02 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix graham cracker crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let the crust cool while preparing the filling.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
05 - Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend until well combined.
06 - Sift in all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until no streaks of flour remain—do not overmix.
07 - Spread half the brownie batter over the cooled graham crust. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly across the surface and sprinkle with sea salt if using. Top with remaining brownie batter, smoothing gently to cover the caramel.
08 - Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brownie layer is set but the center remains slightly fudgy.
09 - Let the pie cool briefly before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or extra caramel sauce if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For clean slices, allow the pie to cool until just warm. The caramel may be hot immediately from the oven.
