Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Prebaked pie crust
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 0.25 cup Toffee bits or butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to bubble and melt into a smooth consistency.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks. Slowly add the whole milk and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the brown sugar, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.

Step 5

Allow the custard to cool slightly, then pour it into the prebaked pie crust. Smooth out the surface with a spatula.

Step 6

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 7

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with toffee bits or butterscotch chips for garnish.

Step 8

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Butterscotch Pie My Way!
