Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.25 cup Milk
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Butterscotch sauce (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Mix well.
Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the cooled crust.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and milk together, stirring constantly until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Pour the butterscotch mixture over the cream cheese filling, spreading evenly.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce.
Slice and enjoy your Butterscotch Cream Cheese Pie!
