Love this recipe!! Love cream pies!!! I accidentally used SR flour in a pie crust quite a few years ago, I didn’t realize my mistake until too late, but it turned out very well! So glad you have modified your recipe, I think other bakers will love this as well. Thank you for your videos and great recipes ❤❤

Hi Annette! Oh I love that story! So many good things come from mistakes in the kitchen! Yes I’m enjoying the modified crust and my kids loved it! They said it was better than my usual 😅 Keeping me humble lol. Hugs, Marie

Hi Marie! I love how easy your recipes are as far as preparation. No complicated methods even I can make them come out successful. You daughter is so cute and you seem to have a good connection. It is so important to teach our children their way around the kitchen so they can do for themselves eventually. Hugs...

Just love this recipe Marie! Don't make a lot of pies but this looks so easy to put together and add other flavors as desired. I don't like tempering eggs either so thanks for showing another way around that process. Having a beautiful daughter to teach the basics of cooking/baking is truly a blessing. Any crust recipes for 2 small 6 inch pie pans? Some recipes I found did not workout as pictured. Have a wonderful weekend..

Hi! Thanks for watching and for the note! Both my kids spend lots of time in the kitchen and I feel so grateful that they both enjoy cooking. And I love that they’ve found their own way … my daughter can make incredible crepes (even though I’ve never made them!) and my son can do steaks and mashed potatoes better than I can too! As far as the smaller pies, I have used my single crust recipe for a top and bottom crust on a 5-inch pie plate. I’m not sure if it would fit a 6-inch dish but if I try it I’ll let you know!

​@marieskitchen I will. Additionally, my idea is to start a KZbin cooking world-food channel a là hands-n-pans format with music underlay (no asmr, voice-over, nor Food TV host). I know that sounds unfocused and whimpy... especially given I am from a Classical French background. Buuut, is what it is broken-down in East Tennessee. Thanks.

[@lulubelle1541]

Hi Marie, I love your channel and recipes. This one is another winner. I was glad to find it today as I had left a question on your coffee cake video. I am wanting to double the coffee cake recipe for a 9x13 pan. How should I adjust the oven temperature and bake time? Thanks so much.

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thanks for watching! Hm, I have not made coffee cake in a 9x13 so I can’t say for sure but I think adding about 10 minutes to the cook time should do the trick. Use a toothpick to test the center and put it back in if needed. Hope that helps, Marie

[@marymcmullen6902]

Hi Marie. I’m a fairly new subscriber…love your channel. My question is, for a double crust pie can one just double your basic recipe or do you recommend doing 2 single batches?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Mary! Great question! I recommend two single batches. It’s easier to mix everything evenly with less in the bowl. Hugs, Marie

[@dougp6146]

I am unable to find this recipe on the website. I'd love to make it. Thanks for the great videos.

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Doug! Thanks for watching! I just posted the recipe: mariesaba.com/recipes/vanilla-cream-pie/ I still need to add the printable but should be able to get that up this evening. Thanks for your patience 😊, Marie

[@chercandee3617]

Salted butter or unsalted?? Thank you Love love love your Dog 🤗

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thank you 😊 I’ll give coco puff some extra tummy rubs from you 🐶 I use unsalted butter for both. If you use salted just use only 1/4 tsp in the pudding, and omit salt in crust. Let me know if you need anything else 😊, Marie

[@joanchrzanowski650]

The quote is “Necessity is the mother of invention.” My son-in-law loves chocolate pudding pie, so I will definitely be trying this with some cocoa powder. Do you have any suggestions.

[@marieskitchen]

That’s it! Thank you! For a chocolate version you would simply add 7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks when you add the vanilla and butter. It will melt with the residual heat. Yum! Let me know how it goes. Hugs, Marie

[@user9318a]

7:19 I love it You have to get your own spoon It irks me when chefs on tv taste something and put the same spoon in the food or even use ladle to sip and taste liquid dishes.

[@williampugh6699]

I made this pie. It was delicious. If you were to pour the pudding directly into the pie shell without cooling, would it make the shell soggy?

[@mistervacation23]

You forgot to mention they're also good for throwing.

[@marieskitchen]

Ha! No way I’m throwing this pie 😅 Thanks for watching! - Marie

[@ksmill09]

I like a thicker pie crust, so I make 3 cups of flour for a 2 crust pie. Using a tablespoon of vinegar will make a more tender crust.

[@lindajardee]

I just found your channel today & loved the easy going way you explained all the steps. One question I have is that I don't like the flavor of eggs, don't ever eat eggs by themself--just baked in, cooked in desserts, breads, other meals where they are not by themselves. Just never like the taste/flavor of eggs. That brings me to this question--with 4 eggs being cooked into the pudding, would you say there is more of an 'eggy' flavor to the pudding? Thanks!

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Linda! I totally get it about the flavor of eggs! They’re not my favorite either 😅 Personally, I don’t think this pudding is eggy. It’s just a very nice pudding flavor. And if you prefer, you could leave out a yolk and still be fine. Also, my key lime pie does not use eggs, so you might take a look at that one if you’re looking for an egg-free pudding type pie. Hope that helps! Hugs, Marie

[@lindajardee]

@@marieskitchen Thanks! If I only do 3 eggs, do I leave the egg white in from the 4th egg? Thx

[@PatricicaWynn]

How long did you put the prepared pie crust in the freezer before you use it?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Patricia! You can put it in the freezer anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 months. It’s a great make-ahead option. Let me know if you need anything else ❤️, Marie

[@belengarcia2524]

What is the difference between the red label and the green label Flower bang .😊

[@nancyjohnson9006]

Can you dock the crust before you put the aluminum pie tin in prior to baking?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Nancy! I always prick the crust after removing the aluminum tin (pie weight or beans). I think you can prick before if you prefer. My only concern is that the holes pricked before baking might “fill up” as the dough bakes, which means they wouldn’t allow steam to escape after removing the weight, which is the whole purpose. Hope that helps ❤️, Marie

[@nancyjohnson9006]

@@marieskitchen I can see that might be a problem. Thank you Marie!

[@chercandee3617]

Salted butter or unsalted?? Thank you

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! I use unsalted for both the crust and pie filling. You can use salted if you prefer, but reduce salt in filling by 1/4 tsp, and omit salt in crust. Hope that helps ❤️, Marie

[@PatricicaWynn]

Good morning Marie. The milk you used was that whole milk?

Do you cool the crust before adding the filling?

[@marieskitchen]

Hi Patricia! Great question and I’m sorry that it wasn’t clear. Yes, do cool the crust before adding the filling. Thanks for watching ❤️, Marie

[@PatricicaWynn]

I made the crust. It's cooling now. I don't think I had enough water with it cuz once I took it out of the refrigerator to make it into the disc it kind of fell apart but I worked with it anyway. I've tasted the crust now that it's cooked and it tastes delicious. I haven't added the filling yet but I will pretty soon. Thank you again for your videos and tutorials are very explanatory and easy to follow

[@PatricicaWynn]

@@marieskitchen I added regular whipped cream to it and then put pecans on top of it its taste is amazing

[@nancyjohnson9006]

Hi Marie, I’m using your Vanilla Cream Pie recipe to make a Banana Cream Pie for Thanksgiving. Comparing the ingredients of this recipe with the one for your Chocolate Cream Pie recipe, I notice you use heavy whipping cream in this one and half and half in the chocolate recipe. I’m just why one over the other? Thank you!

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! You’re right, it’s a great question! Some people in other countries don’t have half and half, so I just switched it to milk and cream. Half and half is just have milk and half cream, so the end result is about the same ❤️, Marie

[@nancyjohnson9006]

@ Thank you Marie. I guess I should have thought of that but I didn’t. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love your videos. 🩷

[@gabriellagerstle9774]

Question for the upcoming video. If a recipe doesn’t say to blind bake, because it’s meant to be something quick and easy, should I still blind bake my pie crust just in case… so I don’t get a soggy crust ? If so, for how long? I’m a complete newbie and am looking forward to the trouble shooting video 🙈

[@mimigrabner4486]

Does like non latex gloves stop heat from getting to the butter? I have really warm hands. I have always been told that. So when I break up the butter... It does not break apart. It just mushed together

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Great question! I hear that fairly often. You can put a bowl of ice under your bowl of pie crust. You can also hold something cold before you begin. Or you can skip the hands and try a pastry cutter, stand mixer, or food processor. (I demonstrate all three in my easy pie crust tutorial video if you want to check out that video.) Or you can try grating the (very cold) butter with a cheese grater. Unfortunately I don’t think non latex gloves will help. Let me know if you need anything else ❤️, Marie

[@MariaMales-k6b]

Hello, I shall try your pastry which should be great. I usually use self raising flour for my pastry as it does make it lighter. But, can I please ask for written recipe on the side and can you please buy a pair of scales. If you are so particular about your quality of goods, the only way you have a good reading of quantity is by weight. Everyone’s cup of flour will not be the same quantity. Here in the UK we don’t have sticks of butter and please show me how you measure easily a Tbsp of butter. Please the world uses SCALES Regards Maria 🌷🇬🇧🌷

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Thanks for the idea! I do include metric under each ingredient on the screen but have a split screen with the full recipe is interesting! I do own two scales and use them for all my recipes as of earlier this year. Some of my older recipes do not have metic but my hope is to add metric to those at some point. Hope that helps, Marie

Love your videos, but I have to ask you say you are in Texas but looking at the window behind you it looks like there is snow

[@marieskitchen]

Hi! Yes, I am in Austin, Texas but I do get a lot of comments from people asking if it’s snowing! I think it must be the way my filming lights hit the windows, or maybe the windows get overexposed on camera, giving the appearance of a white background. In reality it’s closer to 100° outside for all videos filmed over the summer 🥵 Finally got to the 50s one morning this week! Hugs, Marie
