Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Bean Paste, or Vanilla Beans
- 4 Tablespoons flour (preferably cake flour)
- sugar (for sprinkling on top of the pie)
Butter Pie Crust:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup Buttermilk or Cold Water/Vinegar Mixture
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar (if not using buttermilk)
Fresh Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons confectioners sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whip together eggs and white sugar for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Slowly add melted butter, a little at a time, to temper the eggs. Mix for 2 minutes longer.
- Stir in heavy cream, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour.
Butter Pie Crust:
- In a bowl, add flour, salt, and cubes of cold butter. With a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk or cold water at a time, mixing after each Tablespoon, until the pie dough comes together.
- Roll out pie crust dough into a circle. Place in a 9-inch pie plate and flute the edges. Pour creme brûlée pie batter into pie pan. Sprinkle with some sugar all over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place a large piece of foil loosely over the top of the pie to make sure it doesn’t become too brown. Continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until pie is a light golden brown color on the top. The pie will still jiggle slightly but will set up in the refrigerator.
- Let cool for about 15 minutes and then place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hours.
Fresh Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Stir in powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar to taste. Serve with creme brûlée pie.

Notes
- Make sure to allot enough time for the pie to setup in the refrigerator. This can be made ahead of time, even overnight, and let it chill.
