It may be called Maple Cream Pie in Vermont, but once you taste it, you’ll call it Maple Dream Pie, too. Creamy, smooth, and flavored with the depth of maple syrup, it’s a great pie for winter, when an extra dose of sweetness is always welcome.
This is a cream pie, so that means you’ll need to devote your attention to making the filling. Be prepared to be patient while you stand by the stove and stir the filling. It’s not a complicated recipe, but you do need to follow the cooking times precisely, so your filling comes out perfect. You’ll also need to prebake your crust, so take care of that first before you begin the filling. That way, your crust will be cooled and ready to fill.
The whipped cream topping is also sweetened with maple syrup. And yes, do let the dog lick the whipped cream bowl.
The pie is refrigerated overnight. And so worth the wait.
Enjoy! And spread the pie love.
December’s sweetness
