1 pre-made pie crust
1 cup granulated sugar

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using a store-bought crust, fit it into your pie pan. If making a homemade crust, prepare it and poke holes in the bottom with a fork.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in heavy cream, followed by eggs and egg yolks until smooth.

Once thickened, pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the filling is set.
Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
