About the Recipe
Butterscotch Pie
Tip One: I would highly recommend reading the recipe through once or twice before you actually get started making the filling. It’s not hard, promise, but there are a few different components involved. You make a caramel / butterscotch sauce then make pudding which involves tempering eggs. There are more baking tips in the recipe post.
Tip Two: This recipe uses BISCOFF cookies to make an absolutely delightful crust. You can find them at Target, Walmart, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, World Market, etc. If you can’t find them or don’t want to use Biscoff, you can easily replace it with 250 grams of any other crispy cookie. That’s 17 graham crackers (when I say graham cracker, I mean the full rectangle). Vanilla wafers or gingersnaps would also be fun options!
Tip Three: Make sure to use a pie dish that isn’t too shallow otherwise you’ll have leftover filling. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but you want a nice tall satisfying pie. I used this OXO Glass Pie Plate. You could also serve this in individual mason jars for a cute alternative!
