Ingredients

1 package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 bag (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
1 cup milk
1 box Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps

1

In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand to soften. In 2-quart saucepan, cook caramels and milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in softened gelatin. Refrigerate until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3

In large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold thickened caramel mixture into whipped cream. Pour into cooled baked shell. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
4

Meanwhile, line cookie sheet with foil. In 7-inch skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted and almonds are golden brown. Immediately spread on cookie sheet. Cool completely, then break apart.
5

Just before serving, garnish pie with caramelized almonds. Store pie in refrigerator.
