This butterscotch pie is the perfect make-ahead dessert that’s guaranteed to finish your party on the right note. The pie features a buttery crust that’s filled with a liquid-gold butterscotch custard and topped with a toasted and fluffy meringue. Grandma and Grandpa probably told you how delicious those old-school butterscotch recipes are for their rich, complex flavor, and we’re here to tell you that they were absolutely right (as they usually are).
Don’t confuse butterscotch with caramel or toffee. The difference between caramel, butterscotch and toffee lies in the ingredients and cooking techniques. Toffee is cooked until it’s hard and brittle, unlike caramel and butterscotch’s more liquid-y state. Caramel and butterscotch are very similar, but caramel is made with white sugar while butterscotch is made with brown sugar. Brown sugar has a deeper, richer flavor than white sugar, which results in a more complex treat.
