Butterscotch Heaven Pie Delight
Ingredients
Crust
-
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, finely crushed)
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Butterscotch Filling
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for extra thickness)
Topping
-
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
3 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional garnish: chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or crushed nuts
Directions
1. Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
-
Add melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly coated and can hold together when pressed.
-
Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
2. Make the Butterscotch Filling
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
-
Stir in brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in heavy cream. Cook until smooth.
-
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot butter-sugar mixture while whisking constantly (to prevent scrambling).
-
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
-
Add vanilla extract, salt, and cornstarch (if using). Cook on low, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 4-6 minutes).
-
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the butterscotch filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top.
3. Whipped Cream Topping
-
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
-
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled butterscotch layer.
4. Chill & Serve
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours (overnight is even better) so it sets properly.
-
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or crushed nuts if desired.
✅ Tips:
-
For a deeper flavor, you can toast the graham cracker crust slightly longer.
-
Cornstarch in the filling helps it stay firm when chilled.
-
Make sure the filling is slightly cooled before adding whipped cream, or it may melt.
If you want, I can also give you a quick no-bake version that’s even creamier and faster to make, still full of that butterscotch heaven flavor.
