I've enjoyed this delicious pie for as long as I remember. If not at local restaurants, gram or my aunt made them. For this pie, the homemade crust is best! Enjoy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
7 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
CREAM FILLING
4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/4 c milk
1 c heavy cream
1 c sugar
1/4 c corn starch
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. For crust: Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Melt butter, add to crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly blended. Press into a 9 inch or 9 1/2 inch pie plate ( which is what I used ) I use a cup to press on the bottom and my fingers to press sides firmly.
  • 2. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool completely.
  • 3. While crust cools, make filling. In a medium saucepan, over med heat, whisk together, yolks, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, butter and salt. Whisk constantly until thickens. Lower heat and continue cooking for another seven minutes.
  • 4. Pour into prepared crust. Cover filling with plastic wrap, so the top of pudding doesn't form a skin. Chill several hours or until set enough to cut.
  • 5. I run about an inch of hot water in sink and set cold pie in the water, holding around edges for a few seconds to make easier to cut and remove crumb crust easily. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs!
