I'm sure you are questioning my sanity right now. I mean another salted caramel dessert?
Let me tell you that when I get hooked on something, I go all in until the next thing catches my attention. A few years ago (like 14 really) I started scrapbooking. I now own a small scrapbook supply store in my office. Hey, some of those papers work great for back drops. A few years after that I got into rubber stamping. We won't talk about how many stamps I currently own...
My latest hobby/job is food photography, and the need to buy cute inexpensive props comes with that. This is another subject I would like to move from quickly. Let's just say I have enough plates, napkins, and straws to last a life time.
My kids get excited when they see me using the straws because they know this is the only time I let someone use them. What?!? They would use them for every single drink, and then when I need a particular color, it would be gone. Yes...I have hoarding problems.
So anyway, about this pie.
Currently I just can't get enough salted caramel flowing through my veins. Clearly! So when the thought hit that I needed to incorporate it into a brownie cheesecake, I couldn't get into the kitchen fast enough. This happened to be another dessert that I had all the ingredients for in my kitchen.
Remember? I said I had hoarding issues. That also applies to all sorts of baking ingredients too.
It's perfectly normal to find brownie mixes, Rolos, and pie crust just lurking around in my cupboards and refrigerator. And not just one, there are usually multiples of said ingredients.
I used this Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Brownie Pie as my base and slightly tweaked it to include all things salted caramel. A little bit of coffee in the brownie mix gave it the hit of mocha that I wanted.
For those of you scared of coffee in your chocolate. Don't be! You really cannot taste it at all. Now I'm sure you are wondering why add it then.
The coffee just enhances the chocolate flavor and makes it better. Trust me on this. And if you have trust issues with your chocolate, leave it out! It's won't affect the pie at all.
Salted caramel goodness all wrapped up in a pie crust. Now that's what I'm talking about.
Who wants a slice of this salted caramel brownie cheesecake pie?

Recipe
Salted Caramel Brownie Cheesecake Pie
Mocha Brownie pie topped with salted caramel cheesecake and Cool Whip.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 - 9x13 box brownie mix
- 2 Tablespoons instant coffee
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup oil
- ¼ cup water
- 1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup caramel ice cream topping
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground sea salt
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup sugar
- 24 Rolos, unwrapped and cut in half
- 1 - 8 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed
- extra caramel topping and coarse ground sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Unroll the pie crust and fit into a 9 ½ inch deep dish pie plate. Crimp the edges and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, coffee, egg, oil, and water. Whisk until combined. The batter will be very thick. Spread in the pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes.
- While the brownie is baking, place the cream cheese, caramel topping, sea salt, egg, and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until creamy.
- Stir in the halved Rolos by hand. When the brownie is done baking, remove from the oven and spoon the cheesecake batter gently on top. Spread out very gently.
- Place the pie back in the oven and bake for another 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for an hour on a wire rack. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Cover the chilled pie with Cool Whip. Drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with more sea salt, if desired. Keep refrigerated.
Notes
*Do not use the ingredients and directions on the back of the brownie mix.

Holy moly. There is nothing in the recipe that I don't like ... which means it's filled with everything I love!
Putting this on my "to make" list ASAP!
Elisabeth
Hey, Super excited to make this! I may be just missing something but I can't seem to find where the second half of the rolos go. I see half in the cheesecake batter.... I'll see if I can find it, otherwise can you help me out? Thanks a million!
Elisabeth
Never mind figured it out, I just mis-read
Shriveled Tongue
My niece made this pie, followed these directions to the letter. It looked extremely delicious. But it was not. Within seconds, my tongue became mummified due to the salt. This may be good if all of the salt was left out completely, but most of the pie ended up in the trash. But it looked beautiful!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the pie. Salted caramel is something you have to like. The extra sea salt for the top does say if desired. I wouldn't have thrown the entire pie away though...maybe just gently scrape off the very top layer and enjoy the rest.
Shriveled Tongue
She did not even add the extra salt on top. I like salted caramel, but this may be better called simply a Salt Pie. :-p
Jocelyn Brubaker
Everyone has different tastes. We happened to absolutely love it this way, and I have had other readers email me saying how much they liked it. I'm sorry you didn't like it!
Kristen Duke
There's absolutely nothing wrong with hoarding baking supplies when it means you can have treats like this made without having to go to the store!! The combo of salted caramel + brownie + cheesecake sounds delicious!
Crystal
Yum! You always have the best desserts, Jocelyn! I seriously need to move to your neighborhood, I'd randomly drop by all the time. Don't worry there wouldn't be a need for ducking down on the ground, I'll be over in my pjs at noon too. haha 🙂
Lyuba@willcookforsmiles
Girl, you are just killing me with all the salted caramel goodness you share! It's like dessert heaven!
Rachel @ Bakerita
Drooooling! This looks beyond amazing. Salted caramel everything is delicious and paired with brownies and cheesecake, I can't even imagine the deliciousness.
Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen
When I saw this on IG the other day I just about died. Seriously over the top and amazing!!! I want this so badly- the pie crust, the most brownie, the salted caramel.. oh goodness this is one fabulous pie!!
Carla
I'm the same way - if I love something enough, I can eat it for days and days and days in a row. And I totally relate to the food prop problem. Plates and bowls, oh my! Every word in this pie's title is calling my name.
Chels R.
WOW! This looks amazing! I need to invest more in props and such. And I'm still trying to figure out that backdrop thing with my photos. I need to go to a workshop on it because the whole white poster board thing is lost on me. This pie though would fit in nicely with my fall appetite. Does that make sense?? I'm talking crazy. It's because I'm hungry. I need to make this. Right. Now!

As I sit here finishing up my first ever Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks (I know...where have I been?!), this pie sounds PERFECT... 🙂
