Granulated sugar – This is used for the egg white mixture.

How to make

You can find the full detailed directions and ingredients at Dixie Crystals.

1. Bake: Bake the crust according to package. Once it’s baked, let it cool.
2. Mix: Put brown sugar and gelatin in a medium saucepan. In a bowl, whip egg yolks and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with brown sugar.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat while constantly stirring. You want the mixture to start to thicken just a little.
4. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
5. Chill: Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it refrigerate until it starts to thicken. This takes about 30 minutes.
6. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until they turn frothy. Start adding granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Combine: Fold the egg white mixture in with butterscotch mixture until combined.
8. Serve: Pour mixture into prepared pie shell. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Recipe tips

• Make sure to let the crust completely cool before adding the filling.
• Be sure to constantly stir the butterscotch mixture while on the heat so that no clumps form and it doesn’t burn.
• Once the pie is assembled, let it sit in the refrigerator to let it set up for easier slicing.

How to store

This pie can be covered and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I would not recommend freezing this pie.

This butterscotch brickle pie is the perfect dessert for many occasions. Easy enough for a delicious everyday treat and sophisticated enough for a nice gathering or dinner party.
