Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish, crimping the edges if using store-bought; roll out homemade dough to about an eighth-inch thick before placing it in the dish.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream and whole milk until just heated through (do not boil). Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined. Gradually incorporate the warm milk mixture while whisking until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow cooling at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
