What Inspired This Pie
The inspiration for the Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme Pie came from two classic favorites, the Caramel Pecan Pie and Chocolate Silk Pie, both beloved for their unique flavors. I wanted to combine the best of both worlds—rich caramel, crunchy pecans, and that smooth, creamy silkiness—all in one pie.
While great desserts often come from familiar flavors, it’s the way they come together that makes them stand out. My goal was to bring those iconic pies into our kitchens, so we could enjoy them whenever we wanted!
Caramel Pecan Silk Pie Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Crust: Choose between a store-bought crust or delight in crafting your own crust from scratch.
- Pecan Pie Layer: This layer calls for butter, sugar, delectable caramel ice cream topping, eggs, vanilla extract, and pecans.
- Cream Cheese Layer: Comprised of cream cheese, powdered sugar, a touch of heavy whipping cream, and sugar to create a luscious blend.
- Chocolate Ganache Layer: A simple yet rich mixture of heavy cream and chocolate chips.
- Whipped Cream Layer: Utilizes white chocolate instant pudding for an airy, fluffy topping.
- Toppings: A final adornment of chopped pecans, melted chocolate, and caramel ice cream topping adds the crowning touch.
How to Make Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme Pie
[Step 1] Prepare the Crust: Spray two pie pans with nonstick spray. Lay the pie crust over the pie pan evenly. Poke the crust with a fork, then place pie weights or dried beans inside each crust to keep the crust from shrinking during baking. Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
[Step 2] Caramel Pecan Pie Layer: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and slowly whisk as you add the sugar. Remove the pan from heat and slowly whisk in the caramel ice cream topping, then eggs, then vanilla and salt. (If the egg cooks a little, pour the mixture through a mesh strainer.) Sprinkle one cup of chopped pecans over the bottom of each crust. Pour half of the caramel mixture over the pie. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Cool completely.
[Step 3] Whipped Cream & Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the whipped cream and instant pudding with a stand mixer until whipped cream forms. Set aside. Beat the softened cream cheese in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream (set the rest aside) to the cream cheese mixture and use a silicone spatula to gently combine. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each pie with an offset spatula.
[Step 4] Chocolate Layer: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips. Heat at 50% power in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. When the ganache is completely melted, allow the ganache to cool slightly. Add about 1/4 cup of ganache into a ziplock bag and set aside to drizzle on top of the pie. Spread half of the remaining ganache over the cream cheese layer on each pie. Place the pie in the freezer while preparing the whipped cream.
[Step 5] Whipped Cream and Toppings: Place the remaining whipped cream/pudding mixture into a large piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe stars of whipped cream on top of the pie (or spread over the chocolate evenly with a spatula). Drizzle the chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the top of the pies. Sprinkle with 2-4 tablespoons of chopped pecans.
