Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups whole milk
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 egg yolks
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
- 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon I prefer adding 2 teaspoons but I LOVE cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 9- inch pie crust prebaked
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Place the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter into a medium-sized saucepot.
- Place the pot over medium-low heat, start whisking immediately so the sugar doesn’t burn. Once the butter melts it will become smooth, stirring occasionally, bring it to a boil, reduce to a simmer, add cinnamon and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Take off the heat.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the milk. Whisk the remaining milk into the pot, set aside.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl, set aside.
- In a bowl, add cornstarch, egg yolks, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Stream the egg mixture into the pot while whisking. Place the pot back on the stove over medium-low heat, whisking constantly so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom. The mixture will thicken to a thick pudding-like consistency.
- Immediately pour the custard over the strainer and bowl, you will need to do this a little at a time, you will need to use a spatula to press the custard through the strainer.
- The step with the strainer is to make sure the custard is completely smooth. There is a chance the egg may cook slightly and leave a few small chunks, this is why we strain. If you don’t mind that you can skip this step entirely.
- Don’t forget to scrape the custard off the bottom of the strainer when you are done.
- Stir custard until blended. Whisk the vanilla into the custard.
- Pour this mixture into the baked pie crust and smooth out the top. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and place inside your fridge for at least 6 hours, if not overnight, and set.
- Slice. Serve with whipped cream, butterscotch chips, and butterscotch sauce.
Notes
- If you love brown sugar recipes as much as I do, then check out that link. It has recipes in it that will send you to the moon and back, they're just that good!
- Don't skip the straining process. This helps get rid of any little pieces of egg that might have scrambled due to being poured into the hot custard.
- To ensure that the eggs don't scramble, you can also temper the eggs by adding a bit of the custard to the eggs to warm them up before whisking them into the custard.
- Refrigerate before serving. This pie really tastes best fully cooled and refrigerated. Refrigeration also helps the custard to be fully set so it stays firm when cut.
- Serve it up with whipped cream and add a drizzle of chocolate sauce for even more flavor.
- Measure brown sugar correctly. To get the correct amount of sugar, be sure to pack the brown sugar down into the cup measure.
