This butterscotch-flavored concoction is intended to imitate a beverage from Harry Potter’s enchanted universe. It makes a fantastic substitute for hot chocolate on a cool, snowy, or wet day. Whipping cream could be used to decorate this. For a more adult variation, swap out butterscotch schnapps. If you prefer, you can also substitute soy milk for the regular milk.

Reviews
My pie crust was 10″ rather than 9, so I made it 1.25x the ingredients. Next time if I use the same pie crust I will do 1.5x, since there was a good bit of empty shell left. But all that aside, wow! Warm and gooey, like a good chocolate pie should be (you can cook it a bit longer if you like it more firm), and I ate my 1st piece with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Sensational. The next day I used store brand real whipped cream. Still awesome. Highly recommended!!!
Excellent and EASY!
Follow Zebrakeper suggestions and turned out perfect. Super easy and husband asked me to save recipe!!
I have made this pie a couple of times now. I can’t resist the pie shells at the grocery. Everything else is already on hand at home. I took Zebrakeper’s advice in both cases. They always come out perfect. And my husband too eats half the pie in one setting. Great pie to have around anytime or all the time. I’m not ashamed to admit.
There was way too much sugar in this recipe. It was so sweet it was almost inedible. A glass of milk will be required to make it palatable.
Amazing!!! was such a hit that I was asked to make one for someone to take home!! So easy to make.
This pie was perfect! It has a crunchy top and is gooey and fudgy inside. I followed others tips of melting the butter and also pre baked the pie crust at 350 for 10 min, instead of going by the package and baking at 450 for 10 min.
Yummy
This pie is amazing. My Grandmother always made fudge pies, and this tastes so much like hers. I agree with one reviewer to not prebake the crust. Cook it on 300 for 50 minutes it will come out perfect. My only issue is that I doubled the recipe, and made 2 pies, but my pie crusts definitely could of been filled more so next time I will make more of the filling. Very easy, very tasty, and your friends and family will love it.
Instead of a full-size pie, I make eight mini pies. The flavor is divine, and no one complains that their piece is smaller than someone else’s.
Super easy to make, have made these several times and they always turn out GREAT!!!!
I have made this pie several times. It is quick, easy and delicious. I get asked if I am making it at every major holiday get together.
My granddaughter loved the fuge part but thought it would be better in a graham crumb crust. I believe i’ll try making it that way next time
Nice quick recipe and excellent flavor. I didn’t change anything, but I would next time. I’d double the recipe. Mine turned out about half as thick as I thought it would.

Made just like recipe was given, except I did melt the butter. It was easy to make and tasted great!
Came out perfectly thank you
This is a fabulous pie. Kind of a combination of a chocolate pie and a brownie pie. Everybody loves it. To make sure the chocolate flavor really comes through, you must use good cocoa powder. The grocery store one is just not chocolatey enough. I use a 70% Belgian cocoa and it makes this pie over the top chocolate. A little whipped cream is all you need.
Super rich and yummy. It looked so pretty when I took it out of the oven and then it fell. But it was so good even if it fell. Put some non-dairy topping (since the grandkids have sensitivity to dairy) and they loved it.

I wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t get it done. Baked for 45 minutes and it was runny inside. Baked another 45 minutes and it was gooey but edible. Great idea but something is off.
