Caramel Creme Pie

Inspired by the Movie

Christmas With the Kranks

I am so excited to bring you this delicious Caramel Creme Pie recipe. I love the holidays, Christmas and Halloween being my favorites. Part of my every year traditions is watching as many of the wonderful Christmas movies as I can. One of my most loved Christmas movies is Christmas With the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. If you haven’t watched it, put it on your MUST SEE list for this season!

In the movie, the daughter, Blair, is coming home unexpectedly for Christmas, and her parents have to throw together a fabulous Christmas Eve party in a few short hours. Unaware of what has been going on at the house while she has been away, Blair, makes a request for her favorite Caramel Creme Pie, and that is the inspiration for this scrumptious recipe.

So, I made a quick trip to the Holiday Bake Center at my local Walmart, and picked up the few items I needed. This is such an easy and inexpensive recipe–only 6 ingredients, plus one optional.

I already had a pie crust at home along with some milk and heavy cream, so I grabbed these items off the shelves…

… Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling, Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme, Kraft Caramel Bits, and a Baker’s Premium White Chocolate Bar. Now, all that was left was to make my pie!

Caramel Creme Pie — easy as can be!

The Ingredients:

1- 5.1 oz. box Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding, 1- 11 oz. bag (approx. 1-1/2 cups) Kraft Caramel Bits, 1/4 cup Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme, 2 teaspoons Heavy Cream, 1-1/2 cups Milk (cold), and 1- Pie Crust (baked or ready-to-eat).

NOTES: Save out a few Kraft Caramel Bits for garnishing the finished pie. You will use the rest of the Heavy Cream to make whipping cream for pie decoration and / or serving. Use whatever type of pie crust you desire.

OPTIONAL: Shave some Baker’s Premium White Chocolate to garnish the finished pie.

 

The How-To:

  • Melt Kraft Caramel Bits with 2 teaspoons Heavy Cream in a double boiler
  • Pour melted caramel into a bowl
  • Add Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme and combine (leaving some streaks is just fine)

  • Add Pudding Mix to a large bowl
  • Add cold Milk
  • Whisk briskly for 2 minutes
  • Add Caramel Mixture to the Pudding
  • Mix well. (If caramel has cooled too much, heat in microwave for 15 seconds at a time, until it is soft enough to combine).

 

  • Pour pie filling into baked or ready-to-eat Pie Crust
  • Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours
  • Whip Heavy Cream into Whipping Cream
  • Pipe Whipped Cream onto pie as desired for decoration. (I used a zippered plastic bag with a hole cut in one corner as my piping bag).
  • Top whipped cream with the set aside Kraft Caramel Bits
  • Top pie with strips and curls of Baker’s Premium White Chocolate

 

Here’s a Holiday Baking Hack just for you…

    1. Oh, yes, they are wanting another Caramel Creme Pie already! I have already watched Christmas With the Kranks (had to get the full inspiration for my pie)…LOVE it. 🙂 The new home is wonderful, just have to figure out where everything will go–rearranged the furniture last night for the tree… LOL

  5. Christmas with the Kranks is my favorite Christmas movie! I love the holiday ham struggle poor Nora goes through at the grocery store and Tim Allen with his ridiculous botox! So funny! Your pie looks amazing! Caramel is also one of my favorite things. Great dessert for a Christmas gathering with friends.

    1. The Caramel Creme Pie is SO good, you will love it. Aren’t those Kraft Caramel Bits just amazing?! So much easier than unwrapping the individual squares, and they melt easy and quickly too. You are right, a definite game changer!

  33. This is a great recipe! I tried this pie last year with a recipe from the book where you boil cans of sweetened condensed milk to make your own caramel. This was MUCH easier! I had a question. Both recipes I followed exactly – my pie after being refrigerated overnight was sooooo soupy both times. Should I try freezing it? Or is this just a very runny pie. Wondering if you had advice about this, because the taste is OUT of this WORLD!!! Better than any chocolate pie I’ve made. Thank you for posting this recipe, it really is delicious!

    1. Kacey, this pie is a little on the runny side. I have a fix in mind, I just need to get the time to try it. I will update the recipe and let you know how it goes. 🙂 The taste is AMAZING!!!
