Sugar Cream Pie
This Christmas Sugar Cream Pie recipe is my favorite for the holidays. This is a delicious creamy pie decorated with holiday sprinkles for a festive look. The filling is silky and rich - perfect for any occasion. The crust is a no-roll pie crust which makes it fabulous to throw together for the busy holiday season.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 6 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Pie Filling
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup butter cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- whipped cream for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon mix together the flour, salt, 1 ½ teaspoons sugar and baking powder.
- Stir in the ⅔ cup melted butter and water.
- Stir together until everything is combined.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of holiday sprinkles.
- It will still be crumbly, but that is fine.
- Pat the dough evenly across the bottom of the pie pan and up the sides.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until the crust turns just slightly golden.
- When you remove the crust from the oven lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
Pie Filling
- In a saucepan, add your 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon and ¼ cup cornstarch.
- Turn the heat to medium and whisk in the milk slowly.
- Continue whisking and stirring constantly until the mixture comes up to a boil.
- Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes while still stirring constantly.
- Remove pan from the heat and whisk in your vanilla and the cubed butter.
- Set the pan aside to cool slightly.
- Once the filling has cooled slightly add in 1 ½ tablespoons holiday sprinkles. Just stir once to incorporate these as you don’t want them to melt or the colors to bleed.
- Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove and let cool.
- Once the pie is cool place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips and Tricks
- You can use a premade pie crust if you like to save time.
- You can also use an oreo or golden oreo crust or even a graham cracker crust would work in this recipe.
- While you can use any holiday sprinkles I find that the holiday jimmie type sprinkles tend to have the colors run less.
- Store this pie in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days.
