Servings: 8

Total time: 2 hours

INGREDIENTS

• 1 9-inch pie crust, baked
• 4 Tbs butter
• 4 Tbs cornstarch
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• 2 ¼ cups heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbs butter, melted
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

• In a small saucepan, melt the 4 Tbs butter over low heat. 
• Whisk in the cornstarch, sugar, and cream. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and becomes very thick, about 15 minutes. It should be thicker than pudding. Be patient! 
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
• Preheat oven to broil on high.
• Pour the sugar cream mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Drizzle with 2 Tbs melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Broil for about 30-60 seconds, just until the butter bubbles (watch it closely to make sure it doesn’t burn). 
• Refrigerate for at least one hour until set, then serve cold!
