Sugar Cream Pie

Old Fashioned Sugar Cream Pie Recipe

Enjoy the rich, creamy sweetness of a classic Sugar Cream Pie with this simple recipe. A perfect blend of sugar, cream, and vanilla fills a flaky pie crust for a truly indulgent treat.

  • Total Time: 1 hour (plus chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the filling:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of nutmeg

For the topping:

  • Ground cinnamon, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges as desired, and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk until smooth. Add the butter pieces.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle the top lightly with ground cinnamon.
  5. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set before serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the filling mixture.
  • Ensure the pie is completely cool before slicing for clean cuts.
  • This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
