My dad used to keep Butter Rum Lifesavers in his pocket at all times. In fact, when I was really little I thought that he had a magic pocket. You know, a pocket that spewed out an endless supply of Lifesavers would be kind of cool to have. Anyway, we spent many hours deep in conversation while Butter Rum Lifesavers melted away in our mouths. Later on my mom started getting the butterscotch disks and he carried them instead. It was the end of an era for me and I never liked those butterscotch disks nearly as much!

At least the conversations were still good.

This rum butterscotch cream pie reminds me of those Butter Rum Lifesavers. It’s rich and creamy with a sweet meringue topping. The crust is a crumbly butter and almond meal mixture that cooks in a minute in the microwave. It’s optional – you’ll save about 2 net carbs if you leave it off.

I use instant pudding a lot. Since I make things in single serving sizes I rarely use an entire package at once. I keep the sugar free pudding mix in covered containers in the pantry, marked with the flavor. That way I can use a teaspoon or whatever as I need to and still have the rest for another day.

With Thanksgiving coming up I thought you’d like a fancy dessert so you didn’t have to fight so hard to stay away from the gooey pecan pie. This individual sized pie looks gorgeous and it truly tastes as good as it looks.
