Scale
Pie Base
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pie crust into a pie dish, ensuring it fits well.
- Mix Sugar and Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Vanilla and Eggs: Stir in the pure vanilla extract, then add the two large eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the filling is smooth and uniform.
- Pour Filling: Carefully pour the prepared filling into the pie crust, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Slice and serve, optionally topped with whipped cream for extra richness.
Notes
- Use light brown sugar for a more authentic caramel flavor; dark brown sugar can be used for a richer taste.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
- Pie crust can be homemade or store-bought depending on your preference for convenience.
