Old fashioned Butterscotch Pie is made amongst a rich butterscotch custard inward a pre-baked pie crust topped amongst sweetened whipped cream together with chopped roasted cashews.

This may non hold upwardly a pumpkin dessert, but it almost looks similar one.  I think this pie looks similar caramel, after all it is a really unopen cousin.  Caramel is made amongst granulated sugar, butter together with cream; together with butterscotch is made amongst brownish saccharide together with butter.  This butterscotch pie filling is really similar to Dulce de Leche inward texture together with color.   It’s creamy together with sugariness and makes a perfectly wonderful autumn dessert.

 

The filling laid upwardly perfectly, non likewise rigid together with non likewise creamy.  Just earlier serving add together a topping of lightly sweetened whipped cream together with a sprinkle of roasted chopped cashews.

 

Are you lot a butterscotch fan?  I’ve e'er loved the flavour myself.  The filling is a custard together with non hard to make.  It does accept a expert 10-15 minutes of stirring piece the custard cooks.  The hot butterscotch is together with then tempered amongst egg yolks together with finished amongst pure vanilla extract.  Good luck keeping your spoon out of the warm filling.  Goodness 🙂

 

Simple pie, merely wonderful!

 

 

 

I was trying to construct clean upwardly the start bite, together with then had to laid upwardly the second, together with a third, etc. etc.  But it’s lucky I got mine forthwith because it has been disbursed to all our favorite sense of savor testers.  Gone amongst the wind.
