Notes: This was one of the very first things that Judy taught me how to make after the pie crust. She always stressed to make sure everything was incorporated together and then put the butter in as it cooked to bind everything together. The basic cream can be used as a base for any type pie. Use Hersey Bars to make it a Hersey Bar Pie; Heath Bars for a Heath Toffee Pie. Use Brown sugar instead of white for a Butterscotch pie; add Peanut Butter for a Peanut Butter Pie, etc. This can also be used as the base for Cream Puff filling.
