Wonderful recipe! I made exactly as the recipe stated and it was perfect. I can't wait for an occasion to make this again. Tastes just like the Wicks pies I used to get in Indiana. Thank-you!

Best tasting sugar cream pie I have made. Tastes like the Wick's Pie Co. sugar cream. Made two and neither one set up to firm.

This pie is wonderful, I had never had sugar cream pie before and was making it for a co-worker. I decided to make two for my husbands grandparents and they loved it. Actually everyone did, they all said it couldn't have been better - and trust me these people know their sugar cream pies! I just made it two days ago and already people are wanting more! Once again this is the best recipe out there for sugar cream pie.

Never heard of a sugar cream pie until my 90-something neighbor cheerfully reminisced about her younger days and she happened to mention her misadventure with a sugar cream pie that ended up in the Connecticut River! Fortunately, this recipe was more successful and I enjoy this humble pie in her honor.

The pie was easy to make and the flavor was wonderful, however, the pie did not set up. The recipe calls to "simmer" the ingredients. Thickening agents such as cornstarch do not come to their full thickening power until boiled -- I will boil for just a minute or two next time I make this pie to see if that helps it set up.

I was not familiar with Sugar Cream Pie, and maybe that's the problem, but when I made this I was a little disappointed (granted, my crust turned out horribly, so I'm sure it was partially my fault). It just didn't have as much flavor as I like in a pie, but again, the more delicate flavor (like rice pudding) may be the norm. Personally, though, if I'm going for a mellow flavor, I think I'll stick with the rice! Will probably give another chance, though...

This recipes holds memories for me. I thought I would never find a better one. Eating at the Durbin Hotel was part of my childhood. Sugar cream pie is a lesson in patience.

Flavor was excellent. Made this for my son Patrick who says it is good but Wicks is a little better. Our only problem was it not setting up. Does anyone know what those of us who have this problem are doing wrong?

Our first effort set up and tasted just like it did 35 years ago. I only wish a Dusing, Ball, or Durbin were here to cut it. We jokingly searched for and then found this recipe. Nice to reminesce via our taste buds. Thanks for the posting.

Sorry, didn't like this at all. It took about 20 mins before the filling even started to get thick. Then after being in the fridge overnight it set up to a gooey consistancy. The taste was like overly sweet flour. There was no flavour to it at all. Think I will stick to egg based fillings from now on!
