Butterscotch deluxe pie –Butterscotch Pie
First things first, let’s take a look at this beautiful pie. Just feast your eyes on that golden topping!
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 pre-baked pie crust
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Start by combining the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk them together until they are well mixed.
- Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Make sure you keep stirring!
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually stir in a little of the hot mixture to temper the yolks, then add the yolks back into the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes, continuing to stir to thicken even more.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
- Pour the butterscotch filling into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it cool slightly before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once the pie is completely chilled, serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top if you like. Enjoy every delicious bite!
And there you have it—a rich, creamy Butterscotch Pie that’s perfect for any gathering, family dinner, or just because you’re craving something sweet. Treat yourself and enjoy!
