1/3 cups Sugar
6 Tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter
FOR THE PIE FILLING:

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing along the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F when you pull the crust out.

For the pie filling: In a large bowl vigorously whisk the egg yolks with a whisk. Add the remaining filling ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined and no lumps of sour cream are remaining. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until set but still a little jiggly in the middle. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before transferring the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
