Butterscotch Pie
Indulge in the creamy sweetness of homemade butterscotch pie that brings back nostalgic memories and offers a delightful treat for your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup packed Dark brown sugar
- 2¾ 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.
