How to Make Gerschuh's Restaurant Old Fashioned Sugar Cream Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown around the edges. The center may still jiggle slightly.
