Hey everyone! I wanted to share a favorite Thanksgiving dessert of mine with you today. This no bake butterscotch pie is amazingly luscious and creamy. It’s a fun treat to serve for the holidays that’s different from the traditional pumpkin pie!
My love of things butterscotch runs deep! I much prefer these Butterscotch Chip Cookies to chocolate chip any day. I’d gladly take a giant slice of cool and creamy butterscotch pie over anything else on the dessert table!
This pie is really also great for holiday gatherings because it is no bake. One less thing to try and squish into the oven, no worries about it being baked on time. This pie comes together in about 10 minutes, then needs to chill for a few hours before serving.
Let’s chat about graham cracker crust, shall we? This pie is about as easy to make as it gets, but I do know some people feel intimidated about making a graham crust. You can easily purchase one if you prefer, but I love the taste of a homemade crust!
The best tips for making this butterscotch pie:
- For the graham cracker crust is to make sure you push it down very firmly in the pan with the back of a measuring cup!
- I always use my 1/4 cup measure and press down until I can see that the crust is compact and really going to stick together.
- Another great tip for success here is to make sure you chill the pie for the full three hours. This chilling process isn’t just for the pie filling, it ensures that the crust will stay put when you cut into the pie!

- If you love kitchen gadgets as much as I do check out this whisk wiper. It allows you go get all the ingredients into your recipe, it will keep your whisk out of the bottom of the bowl when you walk away from it, and it is made in the USA!

Are you supposed to boil the milk with the pudding mix? The box instructions says so but not your recipe..so mine never set. 🙁

Hi, Victoria! I’m sorry that the pie didn’t set for you. For this pie, you should follow the recipe exactly as stated above, and not the directions on the pudding box. ~Nichole
Lorrie says
You are supposed to use instant pudding.
Jamie says
Use instant pudding not the cook pudding. I used butterscotch chips as topping
