Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked
For the Filling:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter
For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the hot mixture to temper the yolks. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens again and just starts to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the butterscotch filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Prepare the Topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled butterscotch filling.
Serve:
- Slice and serve the butterscotch pie chilled. Enjoy!
