Description

This Christmas Sugar Cream Pie is a festive and creamy dessert featuring a buttery, lightly golden crust infused with holiday sprinkles and a rich, cinnamon-flavored sugar cream filling. Topped with more sprinkles and optionally whipped cream, it’s the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the holiday season.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup butter, melted
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons holiday jimmie sprinkles

Pie Filling:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the crust and filling to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
  3. Mix Dry Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar, and baking powder using a wooden spoon.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients to Crust: Stir in the melted butter and water to the dry mixture until combined.
  5. Combine and Add Sprinkles: Mix everything until just combined; the dough will remain crumbly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of holiday jimmie sprinkles.
  6. Form Crust: Pat the crumbly dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form the crust.
  7. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until it turns lightly golden.
  8. Reduce Oven Temperature: Upon removing the crust, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) for baking the filling.
  9. Prepare Filling Base: In a saucepan, combine sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
  10. Add Milk and Heat: Whisk in the milk over medium heat continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
  11. Boil Filling: Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes while stirring constantly to thicken.
  12. Finish Filling: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and cubed butter until smooth.
  13. Cool Slightly and Add Sprinkles: Allow the filling to cool slightly, then stir in 1 ½ tablespoons of holiday jimmie sprinkles just once to avoid melting or color bleeding.
  14. Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared filling into the baked crust and sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top.
  15. Bake Pie: Bake in the oven at 375°F for 20 minutes to set the filling.
  16. Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven, let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours to fully chill.
  17. Serve: Optionally top with whipped cream and serve chilled for a delightful holiday dessert.

Notes

  • The holiday jimmie sprinkles add a festive touch but handle them gently to prevent melting and color bleeding in the filling.
  • The crust is crumbly before baking, but will firm up nicely once baked.
  • Allow the pie to chill thoroughly to let the filling set properly for the best texture.
  • Whipped cream topping is optional but adds a lovely creamy contrast to the pie.
  • Use a wooden spoon for mixing the crust ingredients for best texture and control.
