R&R Not time for Thanksgiving but here is a really good Butterscotch Pumpkin Pie--Yummy, try it. Don’t be afraid of the butterscotch----read note.

Butterscotch Pumpkin Pie

1 cup butterscotch-flavored baking chips
2 eggs, slightly beaten
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (I used Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin, not solid pack)
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz package)

Preheat oven to 425. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust pie using 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, (do not bake crust). (I used a standard pie plate but left the crust up on the side to hold the filling and shaped it).

Microwave chips, stirring every 15 seconds until completely melted. Set aside.

Mix eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in pumpkin, milk and melted chips until well blended and smooth. Pour into crust which has not been baked.

Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 350. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted one inch from crust comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

Note: This pie is very lite and creamy, not heavy as a regular pumpkin pie. I don’t really know what the butterscotch chips do, but we really like this recipe. This is going to be the pie for Thanksgiving and other occasions. I just wanted to try it to see what it was like. It is not overly sweet and I really can’t taste the butterscotch chips in it. Maybe it gives the pumpkin an added flavor. Very tasty……and very nice looking.

That does sound good. The chips give it some body as they solidify when they cool.

Thanks, for letting me know what the chips do. I was really wondering about that.

You're welcome. Of course they do add some flavor too.

This sure sounds good, think I'll be making it soon. Of course I don't use a crust, I just make the filling and put it in a 1 1/2 qt. casserole. We eat the filling without the calories of the crust. Pat

Yum...i like pumpkin pie and butterscoth..what a good idea to combine them...thanks bdett
