Butterscotch Pie on white plate with pie dish and milk bottle in backgroundSo if you can believe it, I’m all done with my Christmas shopping.

This happens every year. I get so excited about Christmas coming up that I freak out and snap and buy ALL THE THINGS for Christmas.

Aaaaaand now I’m done shopping. Like, totally forreals done.

But you know what will inevitably happen? I’ll forget all the stuff I bought, even after writing it down, and will continue to buy more things for my family and friends until Christmas Eve. It happens every year and it’s like a disease I can’t heal from. MUST BUY ALL THE THINGS.

Is anyone else like me and has all their shopping done?

And meanwhile I’m over here begging my family to let me decorate for Christmas, but they’re all, “it’s too early.. wait until after Thanksgiving” and I’m all “you’re crushing my dreams and will to live!” It’s like they just don’t comprehend the fact that Christmas is coming and I have to decorate my entire house like a freakin’ winter wonderland.

Yes, I have mental issues. You don’t need to tell me.

First, I suppose, we should acknowledge Thanksgiving and for that I’ve decided I’m making this Butterscotch Pie. It’s perfect for the upcoming holiday because it’s no-bake (yay for oven space!), it can be prepared a day in advance, and it’s so light and luscious and bursting with that rich, sweet butterscotch flavor.

Be warned, however, that this is only for serious butterscotch lovers! It’s made with a butterscotch base, topped with whipped cream, and is loaded with butterscotch sauce and chips surrounding the top of the pie for the ultimate butterscotch experience. Butterscotch, butterscotch, butterscotch… say that five times fast 🙂

Now make this pie! And convince my family to let me decorate, please?

    Oh my gosh, you finished your shopping? I’m dying inside. I haven’t bought a thing! You’re killing me with your gorgeous pictures. Can you just solve all my problems and come over and take all my pictures? This pie looks heavenly. No-bake is perfect for Thanksgiving. I do need to think about oven space!

      Just be aware, in the actual recipe it states 1 box of pudding. In the instructions it states 2…more than likely its two…

        Hi Tammy, I apologize for the confusion! The recipe was originally written to use two small boxes, but I had updated it to use 1 larger box but forgot to change the directions. I fixed the recipe card.

    Used to be so good that even with 4 kids,Shopping was done by Halloween! When my girls were little,stashed stuff I bought all year off clearance racks, plus had stuff for birthday parties,etc.Then was real sick for like 4years and Christmas was just another day. Last year, was the first year I did all of the shopping. 95 percent of the gifts were from Groupon! I don’t drive and was still semi bedridden, was so excited. Hubby wasn’t when he got the credit card bill!! This year, hmm. May use some of the crafty homemade ideas from all the bloggy goddesses! Also used to have a different themed tree in nearly every room. Now,.. 1 way cool tree can work. Oh, the pressures you young ones put on yourselves! Think I thrived on all of that. A mom thing. Go easy girlfriends, enjoy and savor ?

    Yum!! This looks sooo good! Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip? Or will it mess up the consistency

    Would that be 2 small boxes of butterscotch instant pudding or 2 larger boxes?

      Hi Grace! Thanks for pointing that out – I’m fixing it now. It’s two small boxes (1 oz each). If you only have the large boxes (3.4-3.9 oz each) those will work too. 🙂

    If you use the bigger boxes I.e. 3.5 oz, do you use 1 or two for f those boxes with the 2 cups milk?

        Hi Terri, my apologies that it wasn’t super clear. I’m fixing it now, but basically you’ll use ONE box if you’re using the 3.5 ounce size, or TWO of the 1 ounce sized boxes. The smaller boxes are sugar free/fat free, so you usually need more. Two cups milk for either situation. 🙂 Hope this helps!

    Mine was really runny… it never really firmed up in the fridge. What did I do wrong? Did I not fold the whip cream correctly. i used whole milk also. was that the issue?

      Hi Leonor, I wonder if you used cook and serve pudding instead of instant pudding by accident? This is a very common mistake!
