Time 6h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups whole milk
¾ cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
¼ cup salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Combine milk, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg yolks to temper them. Pour mixture back into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  • Cover filling and allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Place in an ice bath to speed up the cooling, if desired. Pour mixture into pie crust and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in the bowl of a stand mixer, or using an electric mixer, until soft peaks start to form. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until peaks turn stiff and meringue is glossy.
  • Cover the pie filling with peaks of meringue, making sure to cover all the filling to the edges of the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meringue peaks are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Transfer to the fridge to cool completely, about 4 hours.

MOM MOMS BUTTERSCOTCH ICING



Mom Moms Butterscotch Icing image

My Grandmother(Mom Mom) made this icing and put it on everything from chocolate cake to cookies. I love it and can eat it just by the spoonful, be careful when making it as it can easliy become too stiff. I really don't mind if it does because then I would just put it in a pan and cut it like fudge.
