Butterscotch pie with pretzel crust

Butterscotch pie with pretzel crust

Pies German cuisine

This pie was inspired by my favorite custard concrete at Lickity Split in Chicago. I translated the creamy, salty sweet combination of vanilla custard, decadent butterscotch sauce, and crunch pretzels into the perfect chilled pie. This pie aspires toward the ultimate pie experience that combines the crunchy salty of the pretzel crust with the smooth butterscotch custard, all topped with a fluffy blanket of whipped cream. It's a real treat for anyone who values a good hit of salt on dessert and those at your Thanksgiving table who shy away from the standard fruit pie.
