How to Make Tarte Au Sucre French Canadian Sugar Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and spices until well combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. The center should still be slightly jiggly.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  7. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Top with homemade chantilly cream (whipped cream with vanilla and sugar) for an extra touch of decadence.
  8. **Optional:** Add ½ cup of chopped, toasted walnuts to the filling for added texture and flavor.
