with the sugar mixture. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble—about 6–8 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Whipped Cream Topping
- In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie or pipe it in decorative swirls for a more elegant look.
Optional Garnishes
- Biscoff cookie crumbs or a whole cookie for decoration
- Caramel drizzle
- Chocolate shavings
- Toasted pecans or walnuts
Tips for Success
- Use whole milk for the creamiest pudding texture.
- Chill the pie completely before adding the whipped cream topping—this helps everything hold together beautifully when sliced.
- Press the crust firmly into the pie dish to prevent crumbling when serving.
- For a more intense butterscotch flavor, you can brown the butter before adding it to the pudding.

How to Store
- Refrigerator: Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
