The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Pro tips:
Canned dulce de leche can be found in the Latin section of well stocked supermarkets. Nestle makes it. If you double the recipe for the filling, you will likely have enough to fill three deep dish frozen crusts. With one pie, you might have a little bit extra filling, depending on the size of your pie pan.
Garnish your Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Toffee Pie with whipped cream and toffee bits, if desired.
How to make Homemade Whipped Cream:
If you have a metal bowl, use that. If you don’t, then just use a regular bowl. If you have the room, put your bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before making your whipped cream. Combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and one heaping tablespoon of powdered sugar in your chilled bowl. Use an electric mixer to combine until the cream becomes thickened and reaches a “thick peaks” consistency. You can make it ahead and store it in a covered container in your refrigerator for up to 10 hours.
The pumpkin pie is creamy and decadent and delicious. A good amount of brown sugar added to the recipe lends a toffee-like flavor to the pumpkin pie. The addition of toffee bits as a garnish puts it into the range of over-the-top amazing. Enjoy!
