A good friend of mine is obsessed with the video game “Undertale.”
And if you’ve played the game, you might remember Toriel’s famous Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie (you know, the one that gives you full health).
So for my friend’s birthday, I decided to recreate this pie in lieu of a traditional birthday cake. And honestly, it won’t be the last time I make it (seriously so good – and conveniently perfect for fall potlucks!)
While I can’t guarantee this homemade Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie will give you the same full healing as in the video game, I can guarantee that it is absolutely delicious and that all your friends will love it.
So..let’s get to the recipe!

What You Need to Make Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie
- 1 package thick pie crust, (or 1 batch homemade crust)
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar)
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 1-1/2 cups whole milk
- 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- whipped cream (optional)
How to Freeze Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie
Good news: this Undertale-inspired butterscotch cinnamon pie freezes really well.
I would recommend slicing the pie into individual servings, then transferring the pie slices into an airtight container. I also like to lay plastic wrap or parchment paper in between the pie slices to prevent them from sticking to each other.
Once frozen, just take out as many slices you want from the freezer, let thaw, and ENJOY!
How to Make Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie
Pre-bake the Pie Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Thaw the unbaked pie crust according to package instructions, rolling it into a greased 9-inch pie dish.
- Fold or crimp the edges of the pie crust. Then stab the pie crust a few times with a fork.
- Line the inside with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights (or dry rice/beans work great!)
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until pie crust is just slightly golden (we’ll bake it again later).
- Cool completely.
Make the Butterscotch Cinnamon Filling
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium-low heat and stir until the butter is browned and smells toasty (but not burned). It should take about 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the heavy cream and cold milk.
- Slowly whisk in the egg/cinnamon mixture.
- Heat up the saucepan again on medium heat. Once it boils, turn the heat down and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir until the mixture thickens.
- Turn off the heat, then mix in the butterscotch chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until completely melted.
Assemble the Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie
- Pour the prepared butterscotch cinnamon filling into the pie crust and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until fully baked through.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let the pie cool for 15-minutes, then refrigerate for at least 50 minutes to set.
- Once cool, cut up the pie into slices and serve as is or with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and extra cinnamon. ENJOY!

This made my son so happy. He loves video games and baking so he was thrilled to find this!
Oh Sharon I’m so glad to hear that! This recipe is always a hit for those who know the game!
I made this pie yesterday, and while I loved the flavor, my filling never firmed up. I realized that I hadn’t put the cornstarch in. Where in the recipe should we add the cornstarch? I’m not seeing it in the recipe instructions. Thanks!
Hi Lissy! The cornstarch is incorporated when you mix the filling together. I realize that this was stated in the paragraphs, but that I missed it in the recipe card. So sorry about that! I’ve updated it now for clarity. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
My pie turned out great! My son loved it and was so proud to share with his friends.
