Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2 (9 Inch) Deep Dish Pie Crusts frozen

Pumpkin Ganache

  • 30 Ounces Pumpkin Puree
  • ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
  • Cup Corn Syrup
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 ½ Cups White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Spice
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Caramel Layer

  • 11 Ounces Caramel Bits
  • Cup Heavy Cream

Streusel

  • ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • Cup Brown Sugar
  • Cup Rolled Oats
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter softened
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Pinch Salt

Whipped Cream

  • 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
