2 9inchPastry ShellsI used Pillsbury Refrigerated Shells
1/4CupSugar
8-10Half Pint Jars for Canning
Homemade Whipped Cream:
1/2PintHeavy Whipping Cream
4TbspPowdered Sugar
1/4TspVanilla
1/2TspGround Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375*.
Begin by preparing the pie jars. Make sure they are washed and cleaned out. Then, roll out your pie dough. Use the tops of the jars to make the circles for the lids of the jar. Using the remaining dough pat it into the jar to cover the sides and bottom of the jar to make the pie shell. I left about an inch at the top where the lid would be screwed on without crust.
In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add in the cornstarch and cream, whisk this until fully dissolved.
Next, whisk in the condensed milk, egg yolks, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Continue stirring and cooking on medium heat until thick and bubbly.
At this point, remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until the butter is completely melted.
Pour enough of the creme brulee mixture into each jar to fill up to the top of your crust. Be sure to add a slit into the round top that you cut out with the lids before sealing it onto the top of the pie. This will allow the filling to breathe during the baking process. At this point I was able to make 8 individual pies; however, you may be able to make a few more depending on the amount of dough that you use.
Top each of the pies with sugar, then place the jars in a casserole dish to easily bake them in the oven.
Bake these in the oven for 45 minutes on 375* or until pie crust has browned.
While these are baking add your whipped cream ingredients to a stand mixer and whisk on high until the whipped cream has formed. At this point I fill a decorator's bag and use a Wilton 1M tip. Set this aside until you are ready to add the whipped cream.
Let these cool completely once the jars have completely cooled you can put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill or serve them warm without chilling. Note: Do not put these jars in the fridge or freezer when they are still hot or warm from the oven.
Add the whipped cream and a little cinnamon to garnish them and enjoy.
