No Thanksgiving or Christmas table would be complete for me without this Tarte au sucre pie. Yes, it is sweet. Yes, it is rich. Yes, it is wonderful.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F.

Cook the pie: In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients until smooth and pour into shell. Bake about 25-30 minutes, until filling is set. Sugar Pie is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Make the Chantilly cream: Refrigerate mixing bowl and beaters until well chilled. Combine cream, vanilla, and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium just until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Do not over-beat.. Reserve in cooler.

Serve with the tart Chantilly Cream and some fresh fruits to decorate.
