Sunny - Girl you hit this one right on. This pie is on point - I searched high and low for the marscapone cheese however I was unable to find it. I substituted with low fat cream cheese and it was fantastic so i can only imagine how great it will be with the marscapone. I urge everyone to try this pie even if you don't know how to cook or bake this is the quickest easiest most delicious pie i've ever made. My boyfriend and I ate 1/2 the pie in one sitting (not the best idea but well worth it once in a while

this pie was really easy to make. i couldn't find a chocolate graham cracker crust anywhere, though. would make it again, but for a HUGE crowd - one small piece goes a long way, and i ended up making the butterscotch sauce three different times, because it doesn't taste very good when it's reheated.

The easiest pie I ever made and probably the tastiest! Sunny hit a home run with this recipe.
However...
The text of the recipe was a little confusing. I would suggest making the filling first and getting it into the chiller, because that is the easiest part of the recipe.
I had a little trouble with the butterscotch sauce (tastes NOTHING like butterscotch candy, by the way, so don't let that deter you if you don't like butterscotch candy but I had trouble with brown sugar all (Thanksgiving day!. I would suggest turning the heat WAY DOWN after the butter is melted, so the brown sugar doesn't burn as soon as you put it in (which it did for me. And for those of you who substituted cream cheese, you missed out on the very subtle sweetness and hint of coffee that the marscapone adds to the dessert.
I have re-written the recipe so it is easier to understand:

CHOCOLATE CHIP BUTTERSCOTCH PIE
Recipe courtesy of Sunny Anderson

Pie Filling:
? 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
? 1/2 cup sugar
? 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
? 8 oz. mascarpone cheese
? Pinch salt
? 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips
? 1 (6-ounce pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust.

Butterscotch Sauce:
? 2 tablespoons butter
? 1/2 cup light brown sugar
? 1/4 cup light corn syrup
? 1/4 cup heavy cream
? pinch of salt

Filling: Add the marscapone cheese and the heavy cream to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until soft peaks form. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing out the pie surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Butterscotch sauce: Melt the butter in a sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and stir until golden amber in color, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the cream. Set aside to cool. Serve drizzled over pie.

I mixed this up this morning for Thanksgiving. This turned out beautifully. The filling alone is very decadent. I followed the directions on the recipe and it turned out perfectly. Very Delicious.

By far the easiest pie I've ever made! I typically make everything from scratch and aside from the crust, this is a pie in pure form. My whole family LOVED it! Be sure to read the recipe closely; it's not very clear on distinguishing b/t the butterscotch sauce & pie filling (needs a serious edit. Also a few spelling typos.

It's been a few weeks since the show and I am finally trying this recipe. I have read all the reviews and am well aware of the flaws in the directions but think I may have still messed this up.
I put the whole 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream in the filling and did add a pinch of salt to the filling. When it came to the topping I put 1/4 cup of heavy cream into the topping based on the ingredients list. Haven't tried the desert yet today, will tonight, fingers crossed it tastes ok.
Would L-O-V-E to see that whomever posts these recipes on this page, come back and fix the recipe for those of us who will actually print and save them for future use.

this was so easy to make. I used toffee chips instead of the chocolate chips and it was so good. my problem was it was a little soupy when I went to serve it.
Any suggestions on how to solve that problem?

This was in one word: amazing...

Unfortunately mascarpone was not available at my grocery store so I sub'd cream cheese...but you can bet I'm going on the hunt to find the mascarpone. I didn't use whipping cream, but country style heavy cream and it worked great. Next time I'm going to try 1/4 c mini chips and 1/4 c toffee bits.

It is super rich, so this pie goes a long way. You only need a tiny piece.

Very tasty pie recipe, but the mascarpone cheese is on the pricier side - you can substitute with cream cheese instead...

Other readers have had trouble decyphering the ingredient list - the heavy cream amount (1/4 cup for the topping is unfortunately on the same line as the "Pinch of salt", so this display error is probably what is causing some of the problems.
