I don’t know what’s a better flavour combo than chocolate and caramel together. This caramel chocolate cheesecake pie is creamy, gooey and moreish. You can totally use pre made short crust pastry if you like, but I think this pie deserves homemade. Check out my easy shortcrust pastry recipe below.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
The shortcrust pastry pie case is buttery, flakey and helps to balance the sweet chocolate caramel filling. I decided to experiment by adding milk chocolate to the cheesecake recipe (which I never do) and I loved the result. It was creamier and had reminded me of a chocolate mousse, but thick not light and airy. I hope that makes sense, try it and you will totally get what I’m banging on about…anywoo..
I used Dulce de leech from the supermarket to speed things up a bit. No need to make your own for this recipe. I would recommend a light layer of dulce de leche so the pie isn’t too sweet. Top with some salted pretzels and a sprinkle of cracked sea salt.
HOW DO I MAKE THIS PIE?
First you need to make the shortcrust pastry pie case, once it has cooled completely make the chocolate no bake cheesecake. Fill the pie case, pop in the fridge for 6 hours (or overnight) to set. Top with a light layer of dulce de leche, pretzels and a sprinkle of cracked sea salt. (because let’s face it salted caramel is better) Check out my easy shortcrust pastry recipe below.
