In southern IL Burton's Cafe is famous for their White Pie. This is my attempt to replicate it. White vanilla can be found wherever cake decorating supplies are sold and in many kitchen specialty shops. Prep and cook times do not include pie crust. Cook time is chill time.

Wow! I made this because it sounded so different, but man did my family love it. My husband found this pie to be especially "uneven", requiring multiple trips to the fridge to "even" the edges. Wonderful, wonderful recipe.

I made this pie when I lived at home and have made it down through the years. It is excellent! It is different than any pie you will ever make. So easy!
