Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 3 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • 9-inch pie pan

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pie crust by pre-baking it according to package instructions or by making your own and baking it at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add whole milk while whisking. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 10-12 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in beaten egg yolks, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the warm butterscotch filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream by whipping heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pie with whipped cream before serving.
