American Dairy Association home economists share some tips for
making the best cream pies:
• Cooking time and temperature are important and cooking
shouldn’t be hurried. If the heat is too high, the filling will cook too
quickly, which could affect the thickening and possibly cause
curdling.
• The cream Ailing will thicken noticeably during cooking and also
will thicken even more upon cooling.
• Press buttered waxed paper or plastic wrap directly over the sur
face of the cooked Ailing to prevent a “skin” from forming as the fill
ing cools.
• Cool the pie completely before serving to ensure that the filling is
firm and holds its shape. Cream pies should be stored in the refrigera
tor, not at room temperature.
