Instructions

Preparing the Pie Crust:

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees

Start by "blind baking" the pre made pie crust.

  • If you bought a premade pie crust that is already formed into the pie tin then you can bake it in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until its a light brown color. Remove, let cool and you are good to go!
  • If the pre made pie dough needs to be formed into your pie tin then roll it out on a floured surface with a rolling pin then carefully add it to the pie tin and trim the overlapping dough around the edge of the tin. Press down gently with your finger tips until its formed into the pie tin. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until its a light brown color. Remove, and let cool.

Next, begin whisking 2 eggs in a medium bowl, while you are continuously whisking, slowly add the sugar until it is dissolved. Next add the vanilla extract, evaporated milk, pumpkin puree, Herbie's Pumpkin Pie Spice, and mascarpone cheese. Before you finish whisking together all of the ingredients, soften the butterscotch chips in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Then add them to the mix and continue whisking.

Once all the ingredients are incorporated add the mixture to a blender and blend for 30 seconds just to get all the ingredients equally blended together.

Then pour the pumpkin mixture in your prepared pie crust with out getting too close to the top of the crust. Its nice to leave a little bit of room for the crust.

Turn your oven up to 450 degrees and bake in the oven for 15 min then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45 min. A little bit of color on the pie is what you are looking for.

Serve with whipped cream and enjoy with Caress Cuvee Blanc.
