zomg! i just made this pie for a friend who is missing sugar cream pie…tremendous! and easy to make (the hardest part is waiting for it to chill overnight, and keeping my hands off of it until dinner tomorrow night with said friend).

I made your pie and topped it with lightly sweetened whipped cream, to make use of the remaining whipping cream in lieu of having to throw it away next month when it gets lost in the vast wasteland of my fridge.
It was a hit with my family. The first thing my daughter said was…”this pie makes me think of Christmas…you need to make this at Christmas”.
?…I don’t know what that means, but this Christmas I will make it…just for her.

PS there’s one piece left after 3 days in the fridge and no, the crust is not soggy.

My sister use to buy a sugar cream pie at a German meat market in Ohio. But the story she told is as much a memory as the pie. It seems she worked with a rather large woman who would bring in a pie and eat the whole thing. Now when I hear Sugar Cream Pie I think of her.

Made this for my husband for Father’s day… there used to be a restaurant in our town that made this and it is his all time favorite pie… the restaurant does not make it any longer so finding this recipe was awesome… and we both think it was better than the restaurant pie!! Thank you so much!! Will make this again and again!!

Ugh! I was so excited this pie was so easy that I kept rereading the written recipe. After I was done I was wondering how the crust could possibly be cooked in the 2 minutes in the oven. I suppose you only learn that “crust lesson” once (pie crust needs to be pre-cooked).
The pie itself was lovely and had a great smooth texture and vanilla-cinnamony flavor. I’ll be making it again, though with a slightly longer beginning…
Thanks!

Huh, interesting recipe. I’m confused as to why you would need to warm it on the stove instead of cooking it in the oven. It doesn’t seem that the custard would set right that way. Plus, won’t the crust get soggy? Thanks for sharing, but I’m sticking to my easy 5 ingredient one. Sugar Cream pie is heaven on a plate!

My brother always request this pie instead of a birthday cake!
