Creamy Vanilla Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 1/4 cups half-and-half cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Combine cornstarch and sugar in a bowl, then add 4 tablespoons of melted butter and half-and-half. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming, until it reaches a boiling point and thickens into a rich sauce.
2
Remove the mixture from the heat source and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3
Preheat your oven's broiler to its highest setting.
4
Pour the sauce into a pre-baked pie crust, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the butter for added flavor.
5
Place the pie under the broiler and watch it closely, as the butter will soon start to bubble - this is a sign that it's done.
