Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pie

Ingredients

  1. 1 pre-baked pie crust
  2. 1 cup heavy cream
  3. 1/2 cup sugar
  4. 1/4 cup dark rum
  5. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually pour in heavy cream and dark rum, stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture without any dry ingredients sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue whisking continuously to prevent scorching or lumps from forming.
  4. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon and have a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the flavor throughout the cream.
  6. Allow the rum cream filling to cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top.
  7. Pour the warm filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure smooth coverage.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely and develop a rich, creamy texture.
  9. Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream or a light dusting of nutmeg for added flavor and presentation.

Tips

  1. Use high-quality dark rum for the most robust flavor - the better the rum, the more delicious your pie will be.
  2. Whisk constantly while cooking the filling to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, silky texture.
  3. Allow the pie to set completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for the most luxurious consistency.
  4. For an extra touch of elegance, use a pre-baked graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust for added depth of flavor.
  5. When adding the rum, do so gradually and taste as you go to control the alcohol intensity.
  6. Serve chilled and garnish with fresh whipped cream and a light sprinkle of nutmeg for a professional presentation.
  7. Store the pie in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
