Indulge in the creamy, nostalgic flavors of the Dutch Mill Sugar Cream Pie, a classic dessert rooted in simplicity yet bursting with rich, comforting sweetness. This recipe combines a velvety filling made from granulated sugar, cornstarch, and whole milk, delicately enhanced with vanilla and a buttery finish, all nestled in a flaky pre-made pie crust. The top is beautifully dusted with a warming blend of cinnamon and nutmeg before being baked to perfection. In just 50 minutes of prep and baking time, including a golden crust and a luscious custard base, you'll have an irresistible treat that's perfect for any occasion. Serve this pie chilled for a creamy texture that melts in your mouth, making it a standout dessert for holiday gatherings or casual get-togethers.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a standard 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch until there are no lumps.
Gradually add in the milk while whisking continuously. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture while stirring frequently until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 6-8 minutes.
Once the filling has thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pie filling.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the filling fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Dutch Mill Sugar Cream Pie!
