Description
This creamy butterscotch pie is a delightful dessert that combines a crunchy graham cracker crust with a rich butterscotch filling and a fluffy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups finely crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 2 boxes (3 oz each) instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping
- optional garnishes: chopped nuts, crushed toffee, caramel drizzle
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of your pie pan. Chill for 10 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for a crisp texture. Let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk for 2–3 minutes until it thickens. Add vanilla extract if using. Let rest briefly, then pour into the prepared crust.
- Once the pudding layer has set slightly, spread whipped topping evenly across the surface. Use a spatula to create soft peaks or decorative swirls.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. The longer it chills, the better it slices and tastes.
- Before serving, add optional toppings like crushed toffee, nuts, or caramel drizzle. Slice and enjoy your creamy butterscotch pie delight!
Notes
- For an extra crunch, consider adding extra chopped nuts to the top before serving.
- This pie can be made a day in advance for easy preparation.
