This no-bake Butterscotch Pie
recipe is one of the easiest pie recipes you will ever make,
requiring only a few ingredients and a few minutes on the
stove. Just as authentic butterscotch is made with brown
sugar, butter and perhaps some milk or cream, this pie uses
these same ingredients, while |
|
|
|
adding some flour and eggs to
transform it into just the right consistency for a creamy
and delicious pie filling.
If you are in a real hurry, you
can pick up a pre-baked pastry pie crust at the grocery
store to use with this pie recipe. However, if you have a
little time, (mostly for allowing the dough to chill in the
fridge), you can easily whip up your own flaky homemade pie
crust, giving this pie even more freshness and flavor and
that touch of home (all you will need is some flour, butter
and a little sugar and salt). You can even make a homemade
pie crust in advance and store it in the fridge for a day or
two until you're ready to bake it. You can top |
|
the entire pie with whipped
cream then cut into slices, or top each serving with a
dollop of whipped cream. (Note: Freshly whipped cream is
recommended if you plan on refrigerating the pie with the
whipped cream topping, because whipped cream from aerosol
cans tends to melt in the refrigerator - though aerosol cans
of whipped cream are fine for serving immediately.)
Enjoy! |
