Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Caramel Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Whipped Topping:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
2. Make the Caramel Layer:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the caramel begins to thicken.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for another 1-2 minutes, until smooth.
- Remove the caramel from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel layer to set.
