Pumpkin Butter Pie With Butterscotch Cream
- FOR THE PIE:
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 jar 10 Oz. Pumpkin Butter-I Use Trader Joe's Brand
- 1 cup Pureed Pumpkin
- 2 cups Evaporated Milk
- 1 whole Pie Crust
- _____
- FOR THE BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM (optional):
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
- 1/4 cups Light Corn Syrup
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream, Divided Use
- 1 Tablespoon Bourbon (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F). Place a cookie sheet in the oven while it preheats (you'll place the pie on the cookie sheet while it cooks). This will insure that the bottom of the pie crust browns.
- For the pie:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin butter, pumpkin, evaporated milk and whisk until well combined. You can add a dash of ginger and nutmeg if you like, but it's not necessary. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the center of the pie is set, about 1-1 1/2 hours. While baking, check the crust after 30 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil. Once the pie is done, transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with your favorite topping. I use the Butterscotch Cream that I also use as a topping for Indian Pudding. You can also drizzle some butterscotch sauce on top of the pie before adding the cream.
- Optional Butterscotch Cream:
- In a heavy saucepan, heat the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon during the first 2 minutes but do not stir after that point. Remove the pan from the heat and very carefully add 1/2 cup of the cream. Stir in the bourbon. Let the sauce cool to room temperature. This is a great butterscotch sauce!
- In a bowl combine the remaining cream (1 Cup) and 1/3 Cup of the butterscotch sauce. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Top this cream mixture on the pie.
- Reserve the rest of the sauce to enjoy on any treat you like. The sauce will keep for about a week in the fridge.
