Description

This Cinnamon-Dusted Vanilla Custard with Amber Drip is an easy sugar cream pie featuring a silky, vanilla-rich custard with a subtle cinnamon kiss. It’s a foolproof Hoosier classic, perfect for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour, or 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Line a 9-inch pie dish with your preferred crust. Blind bake it at 375F (190C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour (or cornstarch), and salt. Whisk well until uniformly mixed.
  3. Heat Liquids: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and cubed butter over medium heat. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is warm (just steaming slightly, but not boiling).
  4. Temper Mixture: Slowly pour about 0.5 cup of the warm liquid into the dry ingredients while continuously whisking to prevent lumps, forming a smooth, thick paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining warm liquid until everything is well combined and fluid.
  5. Cook Custard: Return the entire mixture to the same saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, for 8-12 minutes until it visibly thickens to a pudding-like consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the hot, thickened custard into your prepared pie crust. Bake at 350F (175C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble when gently shaken.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the baked pie to cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Then, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or until fully firm to the touch.
  8. Garnish: Just before serving, lightly dust the top with ground cinnamon or nutmeg for that classic finish.

Notes

If lumps form during cooking, immediately strain the hot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Ensure your custard visibly thickens on the stove for proper setting. For a no-bake sugar cream pie, pour into a pre-baked crust and chill for 3-4 hours. Use high-quality dairy and pure vanilla extract for best results, or consider organic dairy and vanilla bean paste for enhanced flavor.
