QUEBECOIS MAPLE CREAM PIE



Quebecois Maple Cream Pie image

I had the most amazing sugar pie in Quebec City, Canada at a restaurant called the Cochon Dingue. (The Crazy Pig). Their version is custardy versus the soft-fudgy/brown sugar ones that are a regional specialty. The pie tastes better if made 1 night (or more) before serving. Good luck on having it around for that long! Serve topped with creme fraiche, if desired.

¾ cup real maple syrup (dark amber)

1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

FRENCH CANADIAN MAPLE SUGAR PIE

I found this recipe in the Maple Syrup Cookbook by Ken Haedrich. He says it's like a pecan pie with a nice tart edge, and that it's excellent with vanilla ice cream. Where the recipe calls for brewed tea, he suggests using lemon herbal tea. I can't wait to try it!

Canadian Maple Syrup Pie image

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Single Pie Crust - check out our Flaky Butter Crust
1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
6 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp unbleached white flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup to a gentle boil. Cook the maple syrup for 5 minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Remove the saucepan from the heat Stir in the butter until melted. Add the heavy cream and stir. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to a small bowl; whisk in the flour and salt and then whisk this back into the mixture in the saucepan. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then whisk them into the mixture in the saucepan until well incorporated and the consistency is smooth. Roll out the pie dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the warm filling into the pie shell. Bake in oven for 50 - 60 minutes, until the center is golden brown, bubbly and relatively firm when lightly jiggled back and forth. Some jiggle is ok, but we don't want too much. Cool pie completely on at room temperature before slicing. This will take at LEAST 1-2 hours.

Tips for Making Quebec Maple Pie

  • Use high-quality maple syrup. This is the key ingredient in the pie, so make sure it's pure and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the filling. The filling should be thick and syrupy, but not too stiff. Overcooking will make the filling tough and chewy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion

Quebec maple pie is a beloved Canadian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, maple-flavored filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Quebec maple pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
