Old-fashioned butterscotch cream pie gets a gluten free makeover! If you are butterscotch fan, you will love this rich and creamy pie.
I believe I got my love for anything butterscotch from my dad. When I was a teenager, he would take me to this little ice cream shop that his dad took him to when he was a kid. We always got a scoop of butterscotch ice cream.
Have you ever tried a butterscotch milk shake? To die for! Butterscotch pudding? My eyes roll back in my head. 🙂 One of my favorite gluten free cookies are oatmeal butterscotch. They are a great gift from the kitchen too! 😉
You know what I love about this pie? There are so many great ways to serve it. With homemade whipped topping. Melt in your mouth meringue. Delish! Need a serving for two? No problem! It looks so quaint in ramekins.
