You guys. I cannot get over this Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Pie recipe. This is seriously one of the easiest, most impressive desserts ever.It is one of our absolute favorite no bake pies. The salted caramel adds a delicious layer to traditional homemade chocolate pie!

ThisSalted Caramel Dark Chocolate Pie is the perfect amount of decadence without being too rich or overpowering. And the best part is that there are only FIVE ingredients. It’s so easy to make!

Dark Chocolate Pie Recipe — Three Layers of Decadence

There are three layers of decadence in this dark chocolate pie recipe:

• The first is a bliss-inducingdark chocolate ganache, which tastes like the inside of an expensive French truffle.
• Second, a homemade, fool-proof salted caramel sauce you won’t have to worry about burning.
• And finally, an extra thickOreo cookie crust. Because we all know the crust is the best part.

Did I mention you only need 5 ingredients to make this??

One of my favorite things about this pie is that you can make it the night before, let it sit overnight in the fridge, and it’s still just as good the next day. It’s a dessert that’s perfect for when you’re having company over or taking to someone’s house because you’re not busy in the kitchen all day or making a mess!

Dark Chocolate Pie Recipe Ingredients

Chocolate chips, brown sugar, Oreos, butter, and heavy whipping cream. That’s all you need!

How To Make Dark Chocolate Pie (Step by Step)

Finely crush an entire package of whole Oreos — minus the one that you eat, of course — in a food processor or blender. You can also do this in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin.

Mix the Oreos with one stick of melted butter until evenly combined.

Then pour into the bottom of a pie pan. I used this10-inch by 2-inch deep dish tart pan from Amazon so I could show you guys this fabulous crust, (and so that first slice would be much easier to cut) but trust me when I say you could use any pie pan. It doesn’t have to be a fancy tart pan! :)

Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. The crust is one of the best parts of this pie!! Pop that into the freezer to set up while you make the salted caramel sauce.

Melt the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to boil.

Keep cooking, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, then remove from heat and slowly whisk in 1/4 cup of the whipping cream.

Cool caramel about 15 minutes, then pour into the bottom of the frozen pie crust. Return to freezer for 30-45 minutes, just until caramel is firm. You don’t want it to get frozen.

Next, we’ll make our decadent dark chocolate ganache. Pour 1 bag of chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl, then bring 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to a simmer on the stove. (Sorry for the lack of step-by-step pictures here.) Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and fully combined. Remove the pie from the freezer and pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer.

Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula to evenly distribute to chocolate. Return to freezer for another 30 mins, just until the chocolate is set, or you can refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve this dark chocolate pie.

This is the beauty of a tart pan. The bottom is removable, so the rim just pops right off, revealing this beautiful chocolate crust. When ready to serve your dark chocolate pie, sprinkle the top with a flaky sea salt, like kosher salt or I like using this Fleur De Sel.

Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Pie perfection! Chocolate crust. Gooey caramel. Decadent chocolate. Salty. Sweet. Ridiculous.

This Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Pie is the perfect dessert for sharing with friends and family. Everyone will ask for the recipe!
