You guys.
You NEED this pie in your life. 6-ingredient Chocolate Ganache Salted Caramel Pie.
It’s so easy to make, and it’s really, really, REALLY rich and sinfully good. A small piece is enough, and I don’t say that very often when it comes to chocolate — and caramel.
The first step is making the crust, which is crushed oreos and butter.
Oreo crust.
The next step is cooking the caramel. Be sure the crust is cooled well so that it doesn’t melt when you add the caramel layer.
We have decided the caramel is truly what MAKES this recipe. We made a similar recipe that used melted caramels (that you buy in a bag at the store) and it was a pale comparison to the real deal that this makes.
Cooking and whisking the caramel on the stove.
Put this in the fridge or freezer to cool fully, and move on to the ganache layer. Heat the whipping cream and pour it over the dark chocolate. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then whisk until smooth in order to make ganache.
After adding chocolate layer, put in fridge or freezer to set a final time. Add course salt just before serving.

Hi! I’m Bekah. I’m Sara’s daughter and I’m in culinary school studying to be a sous chef. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite recipes on the blog with you. I LOVE to cook for my family and friends.
What’s your favorite type of pie?
So, how many WW points does a slice of this pie come to if you do 12 slices in a pie?? It sounds soooo good.
I haven’t calculated the WW points for this one. It’s definitely a splurge so I know the points will be high! You can put the recipe into the WW recipe builder to get the points.
Looks so scrumptious! Thanks for sharing at our PiDay Link up party

Seeing as Oreos are the first ingredient in this pie, I’m going to have to say it’s a winner. I can’t wait to give this recipe a try.
The Oreos take it over the top! It’s soo good. The caramel layer is my personal favorite. It’s really creamy and nothing like store-bought caramel.
Yum, I wouldn’t mind making a pie this weekend. This one looks so rich and delicious.
Try it and let us know what you think. We love it!
