You’re going to love this delicious and simple Eggless Creme Brulee Pie!

Yes, I know.  Eggs are a huge part of Creme Brulee so how can I call it that when there are no eggs?

Because it’s a free country, that’s why!

Okay, all sass aside.  I just can’t get past the creaminess of the pie the brulee-ness of the top layer.

Yes, I know.  Brulee-ness is not a word so how can I call it that when it’s not a word?

Because it’s a free country, that’s why!

Okay, we’re getting off-topic here.  And I’m still sassing you.  The point is, you need to try this.  Eggless Creme Brulee Pie is such a simple pie and so good!  Even my pickiest eaters loved it! But if this doesn’t float your boat, maybe try a traditional apple pie instead?

By the way, if you haven’t followed us yet on Instagram, you really should start!
