This was excellent. Next time I will use 3 cps. of cream as the pie was a little shallow. I'll also try using part Splenda to cut down on calories.

I had never heard of this pie either but am a Vanilla-Fiend, so it sounded scrumptious! Turned out perfectly and filled 9" pie pan. After reading other reviewer's comments I made a couple of additions/changes: used 1/2 brown sugar, 1/2 white and added extra 1/4 c of white as I LOVE sweet things! Used 1 cup heavy cream from fridge and the rest of the 1 1/4 c was whole milk. Cooked in HEAVY saucepan on med+ heat stirring constantly with silicone-covered whisk and at near boil it thickened beautifully!! Perfection! Sprinkled top with melted butter and white and brown sugars for creme brulee-type crust. Cooled in fridge for a couple hours til I couldn't stand the wait anymore and it cut cleanly and left the pan in a perfect slice! The whole thing was wildly tasty goodness! Next time I think I'll skip the crust entirely - Not necessary and detracts from supreme creaminess of filling. No cinnamon used, as I wanted vanilla to shine (which it did). New favorite dessert!!

I'm a born and raised Texan, never heard of this pie, but I was looking for some different pie recipes and decided to give this a whirl. My kids now beg for it. I've made it twice, once with regular milk and once with heavy cream-I never have half-n-half. The richer the milk the better the pie, that's all I have to say. It was good with regular milk, but with the cream it was incredibly rich and creamy, and almost like a great chocolate mousse if it were vanilla instead of chocolate.

This recipe was really good, but I did make a few changes. I used half brown sugar and half white sugar instead of all white sugar, and then before I put the pie under the broiler, I sprinkled the top with a little bit of brown and white sugar to make a creme brulee type crust and that made it delish! Next time I might reduce the sugar and use a vanilla wafer crust instead of just a regular pastry crust.

I have been making this recipe for five years now and it has earned its place in my family cookbook. I no longer bother with a pie crust but serve it as a custard. I have always used heavy cream. This makes it very rich but perfect for spooning over fruit. I have used it over peaches, apricots, strawberries and tinned boysenberries and blackberries. For a really elegant dessert cover the base of a dish with tinned berries and a little syrup from the can, then cover in the custard and swirl so the colour comes through. I served that for a wedding and had everyone remark on how delicious it was and ask what was in it. Another great adaption is to stir 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of Malibu into it. It adds a lovely coconut flavour. If you have trouble with it sticking to the bottom of your pot and burning, cook it in a double-boiler. And if it doesn't thicken enough, add more cornflour (mix it with a little cream first). It won't affect the taste. I can never get the broiling part right so I just don't bother and it's still one of the best desserts I've ever eaten, even including restaurants.

This pie is delish. I followed the recipe to the 'T'. Though it does not taste like our favorite Wick's pie, it is good in its own right.

This was my first attempt at sugar cream pie and it was wonderful. It came together quickly and easily. All four people who tried it, loved it. I'll be making this again.

I forgot the vanilla - so it turned out a little 'plain' but oh SO GOOD. My husband and I kept coming up with other ings that we could put in it next time (becuase there will be many more next times with this pie) - you could add any extract and it would make an EXCELLENT cream pie, coconut, maple, rum, or even add some pineapple, etc. So smooth, creamy - I used Marie Calendar's ready made pie crust and it was great.

This is great! I really didn't know what to expect since I've never had a sugar cream pie before. My eight year old asked that I make a vanilla pie of some sort and I found this recipe. Needless to say it was a hit and then some. Took the advise to make a couple of days in advance and it was nice and firm when I served for Thanksgiving. My daughter and rest of the family raved about it. I would compare it to a custard pie. Very smooth and sweet. Would not change a thing. Thank you, I will be making this for Christmas for sure.

I thought this was very good. It did take a long time to thicken. I used a 9" pie pan and it filled it nice and full. I refrigerated it overnight and it sliced nicely and held its shape. I would make this again.

This is a delicious pie! I have to give the pie recipe 4 stars based on the instructions though. I followed the directions exactly...to start with, but had to change things once i got started making the pie. I had to stir the filling for about 5-7 minutes before it started to thicken. The instructions weren't clear on the time it takes to thicken the filling. I then poured the filling into the crust and it only filled up about half the crust. It didn't look nice. So I haved the recipe and made more filling and dumped that on top of the other filling. This time the pie was filled up nicely. I love broiling the pie as it gives the top a pretty golden color and a delicious flavor. Watch the broiler though...mine took less than 5 minutes. The pie set up beautifully and looked picture perfect when I cut into it about 7 hours later. My husband is the sugar cream guy and thought it was super good, but could have been sweeter. I thought it was just right...not too sweet and very mellow. With my changes on preparation it is a 5 star recipe!

I made this recipe today and served it with dinner tonight. I have to say it is delicious! Even my hubby who said "I don't like that kind of pie" ate it and asked if there was more! I prefer a deeper dish pie and most my plates are larger ones so I adjusted the recipe for 10 servings. It worked perfectly :) While this pie tastes very similar to the Wick's pie, it has a much smoother texture and fresher taste. This will become a favorite! Thank you for sharing with us.

Mmmm... turned out really good. I was actually not making a pie, but poured the mixture into little ramekins over peices of pear. The pears should have been cooked a little before hand, but other wise it was really good. I didn't have cream so used all milk, and I added a tiny bit of extra butter, as well as a bit more sugar. The whole procces probably only took about 10 minutes.

This is an excellent recipe. Reason I tried it was brother in law was wanting a sugar cream pie and I went searching for a recipe. When I found this recipe last summer I started making it. Everyone loves it. It is different from the sugar cream pies I remember from working in resturants, around here they sale the Wick's Sugar Cream Pies, I think this recipe is so much better and is more creamier and richer flavored. The brother in law for whom I made the pie eat a whole pie.. He said it was the best sugar cream pie he had ever eaten. So I continue to use the recipe often.
