Free-from butterscotch pie
Make a butterscotch pie for dessert. This one is free from dairy, eggs, soy and gluten, so everyone in the family can enjoy it. Top with chopped nuts, if you like.
Method
Combine the sugar, golden syrup, ¼ tsp salt and 250ml of the coconut milk in a large saucepan, then bring to the boil over a medium heat.
Meanwhile, combine the rest of the coconut milk, vanilla bean paste or extract and cornflour in a large heatproof bowl, whisking until smooth.
When the syrupy coconut mixture comes to the boil, slowly drizzle it into the bowl with the coconut and vanilla mixture in a steady stream, whisking continuously. Pour back into the pan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat, continuing to whisk until thick, about 5-7 mins.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the margarine and yogurt or soured cream. Pour into the prepared pie crust, then cover the surface with a circle of baking parchment to prevent a skin forming. Chill for 4-6 hrs until set. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
