Ingredients
To create this luxurious pie, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9 inches)
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pie dish)
- Sugar for caramelizing the top (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
Follow these steps to make your very own Creme Brûlée Pie:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your pie dish with butter to prevent sticking.
- Blind-bake the pre-made pie crust according to package instructions until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and ½ cup of the granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is just about to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring the eggs don’t scramble. Strain this mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook this mixture over medium-low heat, continuously stirring until it thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the creamy filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie with a thin layer of sugar, and caramelize using a kitchen torch until golden and bubbly. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the pie under a broiler for a few minutes—just keep a close eye on it!
- Slice and serve this extraordinary dessert, and watch your guests swoon!
