sugar-cream-pie

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 9-inch gluten-free pie crust, baked
• 5 tbsp pure cornstarch
• 1 cup white sugar
• 5 tbsp butter
• 2 1/2 cups half and half
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp white sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan before turning on heat. Add half and half and 4 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat until mixture starts to boil and thicken. Stir constantly; mixture should be a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
2. Heat oven broiler to high.
3. Pour half-and-half mixture into prepared pie crust. Carefully drizzle melted butter over the top and dust with sugar mixture and cinnamon.
4. Place pie under broiler until butter just bubbles, about 1 minute. Keep a very close eye on it to avoid burning. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
5. Enjoy!
