Microwave Sugar Cream Pie
A rich, creamy microwave sugar cream pie featuring sweet milk and butter, perfect for quick desserts and satisfying those craving a nostalgic, comforting treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put sugar and oleo (butter) in the microwave and heat until melted.
- Add enough milk to the Milnot to make 5 cups, then heat the mixture until scalded.
- Combine the melted sugar and butter mixture with the scalded milk and bring to a boil.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If you want to reduce sweetness, try cutting the sugar by half or substituting with a sugar alternative. Be careful when microwaving the butter and sugar to avoid spills. Stir the mixture every 30 seconds to ensure even melting. This pie can be served warm or chilled for a refreshing dessert, ideal for pairing with Nana Hawkin'S Macaroni And Cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. It pairs delightfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a slice of Chocolate Chip Cherry Pie for a dessert spread that will impress. This recipe is a great addition to any gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until warmed through. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can change the texture of the pie.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of Milnot?
While Milnot is a non-dairy evaporated milk alternative, you can use regular milk in this recipe. However, keep in mind that it may alter the texture slightly. For a creamier consistency, consider adding evaporated milk or a mix of heavy cream and milk.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it does not contain any flour. However, always check the labels of the ingredients used to ensure they are gluten-free, especially the butter and sugar. Enjoy this sweet treat without worrying about gluten.
Can I prepare this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this pie a day in advance. Just make sure to store it properly in the refrigerator. This can actually enhance the flavors, allowing them to meld together. Just reheat individual slices as needed before serving.
