Ingredients
- 1 9-inch refrigerated pie crust prebaked (store-bought or homemade)
- 2½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 egg yolks beaten
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (⅜ stick)
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture darkens and starts to thicken, about 5-8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Whisk in the egg yolks, and continue to cook and stir until the filling is thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust.
- Press a piece of plastic to the surface of the pudding and allow the pie to cool slightly while you make the meringue.
Cup of Yum
For the Meringue
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly stream in the sugar and whip until the meringue is shiny.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pie. Spread the meringue over the pie and bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool and set up for at least one hour.
Notes
- Storage: Store pudding butterscotch pie covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
