Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the filling:
• - 1 cup heavy cream
• - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• - 1/4 cup cornstarch
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 3 cups whole milk
• - 4 large egg yolks
• - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• For the whipped cream topping:
• - 1 cup heavy cream
• - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
6. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
7. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the filling cool for 10 minutes, then pour it into the cooled crust.
8. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
9. Before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
