Forget everything you’ve ever believed about creme brulee. Forget that it’s supposed to be the sort of dessert you eat in a fancy restaurant. Forget the finicky water bath and curdling worries. Forget that you need a blowtorch to brown the top of that sweet little sucker of a dessert. This simple pie brings all the flavors and texture of creme brulee to your kitchen table, without even the slightest bit of snobby chefery. Better yet, this pie bakes up with a rich, creamy, custard like consistency, and creates it’s own drippy butterscotch sauce. It’s simple. It’s easy. It’s utterly divine. Sorry, creme brulee. It looks like there’s a new girl in town.
