Old Fashioned Creme Pie - From Mom's Kitchen

There are just some things you cannot recreate. I'm sure you know what I am talking about. Mom's cooking! I've tried and tried to make things that I remember my mom making and they never taste the same...ever. I hope someday when my children are grown there are things that I make now that they will remember and and wonder how I made it taste so good. It's love. The secret ingredient is love. Here is a recipe that my mother is always getting requests for. Ole Fashioned Cream Pie. It is a simple classic that doesn't take a lot of ingredients but steps that require close attention.

Ole Fashioned Cream Pie
-From Mom's Kitchen

What You'll Need:
Makes 1 9inch Pie - Recipe can be doubled, but use a larger mixing bowl

1 Pint Half and Half
1/2 Stick Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 1/2 TBS Cornstarch
1tea Vanilla
Sprinkle of Nutmeg

1 - 9 inch DEEP DISH regular UNBAKED pie crust (Usually found in the freezer section)

While we are mixing up all the goodness preheat that oven to 350F

*Please Follow Directions Exactly for Best Results*

In a medium sized microwave mixing bowl warm the butter and half and half. The butter will not melt completely, that's okay. You just want the mix warmed.(About 2 minutes)

Mix together the sugar and cornstarch in a separate small bowl - be sure to mix the two well, or the cornstarch will clump when mixed with the milk/butter. 

Pour 1/4c of the butter/milk mixture into the sugar/cornstarch, mix just so moistened. 

Pour the sugar mix into the remainder of the milk. (All into the microwave safe bowl)

Mix well.

Microwave at 2 minute increments stirring between each time. Do this until the mixture is the consistency of pudding. This will take 6-8 minutes but adjust for your microwaves power.

Pour mixture into the pie crust, sprinkle with vanilla - do not mix vanilla - then sprinkle with nutmeg. Nutmeg is strong, a little does the trick! =) 

Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the pie is browned. 

Let set for about 15-20 minutes 

Enjoy warm or cool! Delish!

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week...but I promise it won't last that long!!!

Your pie won't taste as good as mom's, unfortunately. But I promise it will be delicious!! And no worries, mine never tastes as good as her's either...it's just the cold hard truth haha!

Enjoy and Until Next Time!
