Chocolate Ganache Caramel Pie

photo152-2

I’m still waiting for it, but chocolate ganache and caramel fell in love at first sight, got together and decided to live in a pie crust.  They were so in love, they didn’t even bother to wait.  They eloped to somewhere delicious and have lived in their scrumptious little abode ever since.  *sigh*  Until then, I’ll just snuggle up with a slice and hope that their yummy love/luck rubs off on me too.

You know how some things just go together, like milk and cookies or rice and kimchi?…or me and an economy size box of oreos forever and ever because I’ll never find him hahahaha.

Jokes aside, I highly recommend sharing this pie.  I’ve been known to consume an entire pumpkin pie by myself but I don’t even think I could finish this alone.

    It’s a wonder it’s legal. There’s something so sinful about glossy melted chocolate or thick and creamy caramel.

  • Waegook Tom says:

    Angie, this looks AMAZING! I soooooo wish I had the equipment to bake with here in Korea (tiny kitchen, no oven).

    OK, amendment…I wish I had the equipment so that YOU could come over here and bake that for me! Or Super Speedy Express FedEx some across to me. This is dessert foodporn at its very finest!

    p.s. don’t go easy on the butter.

  • The Squishy Monster says:

    Butter is my baby. It’s a deal *if* you promise to buy me yummy pastries and vendor foods =D
