👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling
In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
2️⃣ Add the Egg Yolks
Lightly beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the yolks to temper them.
Pour everything back into the saucepan and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat and stir in:
🧈 Butter
🌿 Vanilla extract
🌰 Toasted walnuts
Allow the filling to cool slightly.
3️⃣ Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently against the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
4️⃣ Make the Whipped Cream
Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Sprinkle generously with toasted walnuts before serving.
🌟 Delicious Variations
