Instructions
1. Prepare the Custard Layer
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and cornstarch.
Whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.

2. Assemble the Pie
Pour the custard into the pre-baked pie crust and spread evenly.
Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

3. Add the Caramel Layer
Once the custard has set, pour the caramel sauce over the top.
Gently spread it to evenly cover the surface.
Optional: Decorate with piped whipped cream around the edges.

4. Final Chill
Refrigerate the pie for an additional 1 hour to allow the caramel to set and the flavors to meld.

5. Serve
Slice and serve chilled. Each bite delivers a smooth, creamy custard paired with a rich caramel finish.
