  • Total Time: 275 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 3/4 cups Milk
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Pre-baked Pie Crust
  • Whipped Cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and temper them by gradually adding a bit of the hot mixture to prevent scrambling.
  4. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving, topped with whipped cream.
