Ingredients
To bring this sweet fantasy to life, you’ll need:
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup whipped cream (and yes, you can use the store-bought kind if you’re feeling lazy!)
- 1/2 cup milk (sub almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs (flax eggs work if you’re vegan)
- 1/4 cup butter (margarine if you’re dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made pie crust (no shame in that game!)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, but they add a lovely crunch)
Steps to Pie Perfection
-
Preheat That Oven! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). As they say, a warm oven is a happy oven!
-
Combine the Goodness. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the butterscotch chips, sugar, milk, and butter. Stir until everything is melted and beautifully smooth. Honestly, your kitchen will smell like a candy shop!
-
Whisk Away! In a separate bowl, whisk together those eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add your warm butterscotch mixture, whisking constantly. Pro Tip: This is where the magic begins, so don’t rush it!
-
Pour It In. Carefully pour your creamy goodness into the pre-made pie crust. Try not to make a mess—though I promise even the messiest of bakers are welcome here!
-
Bake to Perfection. Slide your pie into the oven and bake it for about 30-35 minutes. Look for it to be set with a slight jiggle. It’s hard to resist peeking, but patience is key!
-
Cool and Top! Allow the pie to cool completely. Then, top it off with a mountain of whipped cream and sprinkle on those chopped pecans if you like a little crunch.
-
Serve and Enjoy! Slice it up, share, and bask in the compliments coming your way!
Cooking Tips
- If you’re short on time, don’t hesitate to grab a pre-made pie crust. Nobody has time to make everything from scratch!
- Not a fan of pecans? Swap them out for walnuts or skip them altogether.
- Don’t worry if your butterscotch mixture gets a bit lumpy; it’s all part of the delicious transformation!
