Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 3 cups cornflakes
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cream Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie pan lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
  3. Press the cornflake mixture firmly into the base of the pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  4. To make the caramel filling, place the heavy cream, brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
  5. Let the caramel sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat again until fully combined.
  7. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  8. Once the crust has cooled, pour the caramel filling into the base and spread evenly.
  9. Spoon the cream filling over the caramel layer, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
  10. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to set.
  11. Before serving, you can drizzle extra caramel over the top for a more decadent touch.
  12. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Decadent Caramel Cornflake Cream Pie!

This pie offers the perfect balance of textures: the crispness of the cornflake crust contrasts beautifully with the smooth, velvety cream filling and the rich, buttery caramel. It’s sure to become a favorite dessert that will have everyone coming back for more.
