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.

Not only do I want a bite...I want the whole darn pie! And too much salted caramel is impossible 🙂 (PS. I brought home a stack of new napkins yesterday and the hubs rolled his eyes. Hoard those props like a champ!)

Oh, Jocelyn. You've done it again. You've made me want dessert before 8am. That photo with a bite showing all the layers? I'm drooling!
Jocelyn Brubaker

Jess @ On Sugar Mountain
I will be hooked on salted caramel and pumpkin spice until I can move on to peppermint mochas and peppermint white chocolate everything! I mean, really, you need at least a month to get through these things, at least! 😉 This cheesecake pie looks like the perfect way to do so! WOW! 😀
Jocelyn Brubaker
Agreed!! Thanks Jess!!
Lindsay @ Life, Love and Sugar
I am the same way! When I get onto something, I go full speed ahead. And hoarding - for sure! I'm so in love with collecting photo props right now!
This pie sounds and looks delicious! I can never get enough caramel - NEVER! 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Lindsay!!
Michelle
Well this looks YUMMY but I really came to comment on the hoarding issues LOL - I am a stamper myself - well WAS. I kinda gave it up when I had to go back to work but still my stuff sits in my "area" (I don't even have a whole room .... just a space in the rec room). I've started selling it but my GOSH - who the heck bought all this STUFF?! It could NOT have been me!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha, that's totally me!! Thanks Michelle!
Tieghan

Thanks Averie!!
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life
Oh my, your first couple paragraphs described me to a "t" - like the scrapbooking ... I have more paper, stickers, stamps, and unnecessary supplies that you can shake a stick at. And I'm well on my way to hoarding napkins. I've been known to take them from parties because I like them so much ....
Anyway! Wow, I saw this title and thought "this is the holy grail of all desserts" (sorry if I used that wrong, that was just my first thought) You combined everything amazing in this. Wow. Just wow. Pinned!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you so much Mary!!
Charlotte
Okay, I also seriously love salted caramel but I'm not so much a fan of Rolo - thinking of substituting pieces of Caramilk bar - that should work, right?... oh, and my husband will not eat fake whipped cream so perhaps the real stuff 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
The caramel Hershey kisses would work too...although those I would freeze first before adding to the batter. I am a fan of the "fake" stuff, but feel free to use whatever you like. I would probably just put the whipped cream on slice by slice because it doesn't hold up as long as Cool Whip. I hope you enjoy it!!!
Charlotte
I just noticed the "12 slices" - you're kidding, right??
Jocelyn Brubaker
LOL I guess that all depends on how large or how small you cut them. It is a really rich pie, so I cut them smaller.
Beth @ bethcakes
I'm not questioning your sanity, I'm questioning why I don't have some of this pie right now! 🙂 I love all the different elements to it - caramel + brownies + cheesecake in pie form! That sounds like the best idea ever.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha, thanks!!
