Sugar cream pie is a classic dessert that originated in the Midwest. It is also known as Hoosier pie or Indiana cream pie. The pie is made with a simple custard filling that is sweet, creamy, and delicious. This recipe uses heavy whipping cream to give the pie an extra rich and indulgent flavor.
Ingredients
For the crust:
