Ingredients for Sour Cream Pie

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • Flour
  • Almond Extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Craisins
  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • Whipped Cream

How to Make Sour Cream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the sour cream, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Fold in the dried cranberries.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream and extra cranberries (optional) before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
