Tarte au Sucre (Sugar Pie)
This is a french dessert that was given to my mom by a one of her french neighbours from Quebec. This version has more of a creamy pudding type texture than the original versions. This is a family Christmas specialty that everyone enjoys. This treat can easily be frozen for future enjoyment. Takes about 25 minute to prepare and makes about 4 pies or 60 small tarts.
