Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 regular pie crust (not deep dish unless you want the pie thin)
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar (I used dark)
2 Tbsp non-fat dry powered milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c melted butter, slightly cooled
6 1/2 Tbsp heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp corn flour (not corn meal or cornstarch)
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees. First, lay parchment paper in the bottom of pie crust and fill with pinto beans. Bake pie crust for about 15 minutes then remove form oven. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk sugar, powdered milk, salt, and corn flour. (You will find corn flour at the grocery store. I bought freeze-dried corn at Whole Food and blended it in a blender until powdery).
3. Add melted butter, and whisk (not too much) until blended. Add cream, eggs yolks and vanilla and whisk until cream is just blended in. DO NOT WHISK TOO MUCH because we don't want a lot of air to get in the mixture which will prevent the pie from being gooey and that is what the pie is all about.
4. Pour filling into crust. Bake pie 30 minutes, reduce oven temp to 325 and continue for 20 minutes or until pie filling is brown on top (mine bakes perfectly for 50 minutes but keep baking until top of pie is brown then it's ready to take out).
5. Cool about 10 minutes then sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Let cool several hours before cutting. ENJOY!
