How to Make Butterscotch Coffee Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Refrigerate the pie shell while the oven preheats.
- **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder or ½ cup strongly brewed coffee until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The mixture will be slightly coarse.
- Stir in ½ cup milk, 1 cup butterscotch chips, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
- Pour the filling into the chilled pie shell, smoothing the top with a spoon.
- Bake on the middle rack for approximately 50 minutes, rotating the pie 180 degrees halfway through. The top will be a dark golden brown – this is normal and does not indicate overbaking.
- Check for doneness: The filling should not move in waves when gently nudged, although slight jiggling in the center is okay.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy slightly warm, at room temperature, or chilled (though chilling will harden the butterscotch chips). Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
