Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pre-baked pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Filling – In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add heavy cream while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Cook Mixture – Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and melted butter.
- Assemble Pie – Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the top sets.
- Cool & Chill – Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, substitute brown sugar for a richer, caramel-like taste.
- Use nutmeg instead of cinnamon for a different spice profile.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream.
