This has quickly become the most requested pie in my household. It’s so well-loved that I usually make two of them at a time. This is perfect for me as the heavy cream that I use comes in almost the exact amount for two pies. It also gives us enough to share with friends and family.

My favorite aspect of this recipe for homemade Sugar Cream Pie is the texture. Resembling more of a cheesecake in form, my son often scoops up a slice and eats it as if it were a piece of pizza! I use slightly less cream than I have seen in other recipes, and I also chill the pie nearly 24 hours before serving.

Great for dessert or breakfast – you simply can’t deny the beauty of this simple, and delicious, old-fashioned pie.
