Ingredients
  

  • cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup packed Dark brown sugar
  • cups Whole milk
  • 4 large Egg yolks room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Press graham cracker crumbs, dark brown sugar, and melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish to create a firm yet gentle crust.
  • Whisk dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan, gradually pouring in whole milk while whisking to avoid clumps. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
  • Mix a half-cup of hot filling into egg yolks, whisking vigorously, before reintroducing the mixture back into the pot to achieve silky, smooth consistency.
  • Off the heat, swirl in unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and flavor of the filling.
  • Cover the filling with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation. Chill for a minimum of four hours or overnight for best results.

Notes

Indulge in variations like adding chocolate or nuts, or adapting the pie for gluten-free or dairy-free preferences. The butterscotch pie is best enjoyed when shared and savored.
