Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and butterscotch morsels with sweetened condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water.
- Stir occasionally until morsels and mixture begin to thicken.
- Remove from heat.
- Add chopped walnuts and vanilla extract.
- Blend well.
- Chill for 1 hour until mixture thickens.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with a 12-inch square of foil.
- Place 3/4 cup of walnut halves in the bottom of the pan, forming a 2-inch wide flat ring.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate morsels instead of butterscotch. If you're looking to reduce sugar, sugar-free morsels work well as a substitution. When melting the chocolate, ensure the water is hot but not boiling to avoid seizing. Stirring frequently helps achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the walnuts completely.
Serving Suggestions
This Fudgil Scotch Ring is delightful on its own but can be served with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with the Cheeseless Cheesecake for a satisfying dessert spread. Consider serving with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the rich flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep well for up to a week. To serve, simply take out the desired portion and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, enhancing the flavor and texture before enjoying.
