Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips
- 1 (6-ounce) pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust (recommended: Oreo or Keebler)
Instructions
- For the butterscotch sauce: melt the butter in a sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a simmer and stir until golden amber in color, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the cream. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- For the filling: add the mascarpone cheese and the heavy cream to a large bowl and whish until combined. Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until soft peaks form, then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing out the pie surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and serve drizzled with butterscotch sauce.
Reviews
This is a very simple but very tasty dessert, and I make it all the time. Sauce is perfect, a little bit of salt, little bit of sweet and voila! A match made in heaven! Delicious.. Thanks Sunny;-
The first time I made this, it was GREAT!!! The 3 times since then it will not set up!!! It doesn’t matter how long it sits in the fridge. I have to put it in the freezer then the fridge. I have watched the video again & I have done everything she does. I can’t figure out what is going wrong!! The only thing I can think of is it’s my fridge. It seems to be working right though otherwise.
One of our favorite Sunny recipes. So easy and delicious. Made it for a Super Bowl Party and it probably would have been smarter to make 2 or even 3. It was a huge hit.
I have made this pie at least 6 times now. Everyone loves it’s light taste. However, I have made raspberry sauce instead of butterscotch everytime. I put frozen raspberries in a saucepan with a little water and some sugar on med-high. Stir and mash the berries until it is puree like. The light taste of the pie with the chocolate and berry; perfect combo!! The office begs for this pie! Super easy! TIP: make sure to get the mini chocolate chips–I love chocolate, but it really makes a difference.
I would not make this recipe again. Although it was easy, the filling had no taste other than the chocolate chips.
I love this recipe! So easy too. I’ve also made the sauce just to put on ice cream. My family loves Sunny- I try her recipes all the time.
So good and very easy! A lot of other reviewers said it was rich but to me it tastes like thick whip cream with chocolate chips in it. The butterscotch sauce is amazing and should be used sparingly when drizzling so you do not over power the pie…YUM YUM
The butterscotch takes away from the pie… its AMAZING all by itself!
I haven’t tried this yet but I am going to make it tomorrow…thx to everyone’s suggestions–I may put the toffee bits in, too…but what’s up with some people? Lindsay, why would you even want to eat more than one slice anyway? It’s dessert…
Made this today and so yummy!! Will make again and again!!
