How to Make Milk Bar Pumpkin Pie
[Step 1] Pie Crust
- Remove the pie crusts from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Use a fork to prick the bottom and sides of the crusts, then bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crusts to cool completely.

[Step 2] Caramel Layer
- Add the caramel bits and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2-2 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside.

[Step 3] Pumpkin Ganache
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pumpkin puree over the top. Roast in the oven at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes until the pumpkin color has darkened and the puree has reduced. Allow to cool.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a large, heat-resistant, mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the mixture over over the white chocolate, ensuring all of the chips are covered. Allow to sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Add the roasted pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and salt to the white chocolate mixture and use a hand mixer to combine until smooth. Set Aside.

[Step 4] Streusel
- Add the flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender or fork to mix until pea-sized crumbs begin to form.
- Spread the streusel on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

[Step 5] Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or mixing bowl and a hand mixer). Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

[Step 6] Pie Assembly
- Pour half of the warm caramel into each pre-baked pie crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Scoop the ganache over the caramel and use and offset spatula to spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours until the ganache is solid.
- Top the pie with the whipped cream and sprinkle with streusel. Cut each pie into 8 slices and serve cold.

How to Store & Serve Caramel Pumpkin Pie
- Storing: Keep your pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Because of the caramel and ganache layers, it’s best stored chilled to keep those textures perfect.
- Serving: For the creamiest slices, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes before serving. Add a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of streusel just before serving for that bakery-style finish.
- Freezing: You can also freeze slices (without whipped cream) for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying!
