Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.
We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

Spoonacular Score: 28% 
My notes:
Butterscotch Pie requires approximately 45 minutes from start to finish. This dessert has 730 calories, 7g of protein, and 52g of fat per serving. For $1.39 per serving, this recipe covers 9% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. This recipe serves 8. 3 people have made this recipe and would make it again. If you have salt, sleeve of graham crackers, vanilla, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. It is brought to you by Foodista. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 16%. This score is rather bad. Similar recipes include Butterscotch Pie, Butterscotch Pie, and Butterscotch Pie.
Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce are my top picks for Pie. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Snake River Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
Snake River Late Harvest Riesling
Made from the grapes left to hang on the vine in our estate Arena Valley Vineyard, Late Harvest Riesling is our original dessert wine. Our 2011 has a limeade nose with a hint of minerals and a honey finish. Enjoy this wine with fruit based desserts or as a refreshing aperitif.

Instructions
First, the crust. Place the graham crackers in a Ziploc bag, and with a rolling pin, crush them. My guy always comes around when it's time to do this, and does it for me. I think he likes it.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar.
Add the melted butter, and mix well.
Press the graham cracker mixture into a pie plate, and refrigerate for about a half hour.
Now, the filling! Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the brown sugar (and molasses, if you're using it). Keep the heat low, and stir until the brown sugar is all melted and bubbly.
Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, and stir until the brown sugar and butter are dissolved.
Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, all of the milk, and the salt.
Remove from heat, and let cool until lukewarm. I find this only takes about 10 minutes.
Mix together the cornstarch and water, and pour it into the pudding mixture.
Reheat over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken. It'll thicken fast with all that corn starch!
Turn heat to low, and continue to stir vigorously while keeping it at a good simmer for about a minute.
Remove from heat, and stir in the whiskey and vanilla. Whiskey wasn't in my original Butterscotch Pudding recipe, but I love the addition for this pie. Gives it a little extra somethin' somethin'.
Pour the pudding mixture into the chilled pie crust.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.
Ready for the topping? Whip the 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy whipping cream with the wire whisk attachment on your stand mixer (you can do this by hand, but it would be quite the workout).
Add the sugar and vanilla to the cream while it's whipping. It's ready when soft peaks form. Yum.
I'm stating the obvious, but remove the pie from the fridge and take off the plastic wrap.
Pile on the whipping cream. I like to spread it almost to the edges, but not quite - gotta give folks a glimpse of the actual pie yumminess!
If you want, garnish with a little shaved chocolate. I just took the carrot peeler to a Hershey bar.
Or leave it plain. Either way!
Enjoy!
