Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves.
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Pour the mixture into the pre-made pie crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the pie cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use all heavy cream instead of a mix with milk.
- Make sure to cool the pie completely before refrigerating.
- Use a torch for best results when caramelizing the sugar.
