❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie

1. Can I use a store bought pie crust?

Yes, a store bought crust works perfectly fine. It saves time and still tastes great. Just make sure it is a 9-inch unbaked crust.

2. Why did my pie not set?

Your pie might not have cooked long enough. The filling needs to reach a gentle boil on the stove to thicken properly. Also, the pie needs to cool completely after baking to finish setting.

3. Can I use low fat milk?

You can, but the filling will be less rich and creamy. Whole milk and heavy cream give the best texture and flavor for this pie.

4. How do I store leftover pie?

Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days. The crust might soften a little over time.

5. Can I add cinnamon instead of nutmeg?

Absolutely. While nutmeg is traditional, cinnamon is a nice substitute. You can also use a mix of both spices for a different flavor.
