Date Cream Pie

This Date Cream Pie is unbelievably delicious and one of our all-time favorites! This pie has a sweet date filling with a light whipped cream topping. It’s great to bring as a treat for social gatherings, and you’ll see no one can have just one slice! 

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound of dates
• ¾  cup of sugar
• 1 cup of milk
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon of flour
• 1 egg
• Pastry Shell Cooked (9 inch)
• 3 Tablespoons of confectioners sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 
• 1 ½ cups of whipping cream

Directions: 

1. Pit your Medjool dates, and then cut them into small pieces.
2. Put your Medjool dates into a saucepan and add enough water to cover the dates. 
3. Bring this to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and let the dates simmer until they are very soft. 
4. In a medium sized bowl mix together the milk, sugar, salt, flour, and egg. Add this mixture to the dates in the saucepan and mix until thickened.
5. Once all combined and thickened, take this mixture off the heat and let it cool. 
6. Once completely cooled, add this mixture into your pastry shell.
7. Now it's time to make the whipped cream topping! In a medium sized bowl add your whipping cream and use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream until it is soft. 
8. Once it is soft, beat in the confectioners sugar and vanilla extra. 
9. Add the whipped cream on top of the pie and after this last step you are ready to enjoy!
