Cream pie

A cream pie, crème pie, creme pie or custard pie is a type of pie filled with a rich custard or pudding that is made from milk, cream, sugar, wheat flour, and eggs and typically topped with whipped cream. Cream pies are usually what is used for pieing, or throwing a pie in someone's face. Pies with a custard-type filling have been made since medieval times. An early recipe can be found in the 14th century cookbook The Forme of Cury, which was made with a mixture of cream, almond milk, sugar and saffron. The earliest recipe in America that was called a cream pie according to The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets, was to be found in the 1844 cookbook The Improved Housewife by Mrs A. L. Webster, and was an egg custard flavoured with raisins, nutmeg, mace and citron.
