🔧 Method: Making the Custard
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and salt.
- Stir in milk and heavy cream until smooth and well blended.
- Pour this mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
Baker’s tip: Use a pie shield or foil on the crust edge to prevent over-browning.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
🔥 Method: Making the Caramel Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat.
- Let it melt without stirring until it turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully whisk in the cream (it will bubble), then add butter.
- Stir until smooth and thickened.
- Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes.
Optional: Stir in sea salt for a salted caramel finish.
🍰 Finishing the Pie
- Once the custard pie is chilled, pour the caramel sauce over the top.
- Spread gently with a spatula.
- Chill for 30 more minutes before slicing.
