I previously wrote an article for Lifehacker entitled "Immersive Chocolate Caramel Pie Recipe."

Directions

​Combine blood sugar and butter in medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir together in a small amount of milk and heat milk as hot as possible. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until soft peaks form. Fold in milk mixture, and form cream cheese mixture into softened cream cheese along with chopped almonds. Gradually blend into cooled custard mixture. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough in half.

Fill pastry shell with custard mixture. Cover edges with waxed paper, and break off 1 tablespoon dough to make indentation on top. Let all rest several hours, or overnight, before serving.
