My picture does not do this pie justice. It was SO good, and ridiculously simple to make. You can easily make it in a pinch for last minute guests, and it's a really nice summer pie. I used store bought pie crust (I am yet to master crusts!) to keep it simple and fast.
You'll need:
- ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
- ¼ cups Corn Starch
- 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 whole Pie Crust
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon For Garnish
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch; set aside.
On low to medium heat in a medium-sized sauce pan, add 4 tablespoons of butter, the heavy cream and half-and-half. After the butter has melted, with a wire whisk, slowly add the cornstarch/sugar mixture. Cook, stirring constantly with a wire wisk just until the mixture is thick and creamy. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Immediately pour the mixture into the pie crust and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, melted. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Place the pie under the broiler until the butter bubbles. Watch your pie carefully; this will not take long. 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate and enjoy chilled.
It was very good, and I've seen it accented with whipped cream and cookie crumbs. It is sweet, I would make it and try it first before deciding if you want to sweeten it further. But it's perfect for those of you with a sweet tooth, or for your dad for Fathers Day!
