I was watching the video on Mae Dawson's Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie. On the whipping cream I noticed that it was already whipped when you added it to the mixture. Was that the 1 cup of liquid whipped. or whip the cream and measure 1 cup? How stiff is the whipping cream supposed to be? I love sugar cream pie and have been trying to find one similar to the Wicks Sugar Cram Pie. Thank you!

It does require a little more baking time, but it is so good & easy. Reminds me of the sugar cream pie they used to serve at Bob Evans Restaurants years ago.

I tried this recipe and found that after 10 min. at 450 and 30 min. at 350 the pie did not set. I cooked for an additional 30 min. and it never did set.What"s up? thanks, Dennis

Sugar Cream is the unofficial state pie of Indiana. I have searched for years for a good recipe. Not only is this one good, but it's easy! I will note that I always have to bake it for more that the time noted. I check it after 30 minutes - if it's not set yet, I bake at 5-6 minutes incriments until it's done. DELICIOUS!!!
