Description
Hoosier sugar cream pie is a traditional dessert from Indiana, known for its creamy filling and sweet flavor, often enjoyed warm or chilled.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges as you like. Set it aside while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the ground nutmeg and cinnamon over the top.
- Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
- Allowing the pie to cool helps the filling firm up.
