Sugar Cream Pie
This Sugar Cream Pie recipe is creamy, not-too-sweet, and is a texture and taste similar to creme brulee. The best part? You probably have everything you need to make this already in your pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust thawed
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2½ cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
Topping
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Recipe Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Bake the thawed pie crust for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool while prepping the rest of the pie.
- Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and cornstarch and whisk to combine.
- Next, add in the butter and heavy cream, whisking nonstop. (Make sure no clumps form at the bottom). Bring to a slight boil and cook for one minute longer (keep stirring). Remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the vanilla and salt. Once combined, pour into the pie crust.
- Drizzle the melted butter on top. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake pie in the center rack for 20 - 25 minutes. At this point, turn to broil for a minute so the top sugar crystalizes. (Keep an eye on it so the crust doesn't burn).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool, about 30 minutes (it should be slightly jiggly). Cover and refrigerate for an hour before slicing into it.
