As someone who loves fall and a rich history of French Canadian ancestry, you might find it surprising that I’ve never had maple cream pie. Syrup practically runs through my veins, so I knew this was one thing I had to try. I will say it is obviously a very sweet and not at all macro-friendly pie, but thankfully it’s fall (a.k.a. the start of bulking season), so my carb intake has greatly increased. But even if it is calorie dense, it’s absolutely worth it to have a slice- crust me. It’s light and creamy but also sweet and sticky. Like the softest stack of flapjacks topped with syrup to ever exist. Plus, it’s super easy to throw together!
Maple Cream Pie
Sweet maple cream pie with a premade crust
You can use any type of premade pie crust, just follow the instructions on the box to thaw and cook as needed. I used a gluten free graham cracker crust, but I do think this would be better with a little less sweet of a regular pie crust, my store was just out of them!
Ingredients
*1 premade pie crust*240 mL (1 cup) of pure maple syrup (the real deal; sugar free will not work)
*6 ounces (2 cups) Half & Half
*32 g (1/4 cup) cornstarch
*48 g (1/4 cup) Lakanto golden monkfruit
*2 eggs
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*28 g (2 TBS) light butter, cold
Directions
- In a medium or large saucepan, add all ingredients except for vanilla and butter, whisking well
- Place saucepan on stove and use medium heat
- Whisk continuously for 18-20 minutes, until the pie batter gets extremely thick
- Remove from heat and whisk in the extract and butter until smooth
- Pour filling into prepared pie crust and add a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the pie to keep a film from forming
- Let set in the fridge on the cooling rack overnight
- For clean slices, freeze your pie for a few hours, then cut into 8 slices; if you’re not worried about clean slices for photos, just cut into 8 slices after setting overnight
- Top with some Cool Whip Free and enjoy
- Keep leftovers in the fridge
