Today is National Bavarian Cream Pie Day. I'm not sure how different that is from Sugar Cream Pie, one of my very favorites, but one recipe I checked seemed to want ice cream blended into the custard for Bavarian Cream Pie, which would seem to add one more level of decadence. I doubt that I will ever bake a BCP but I will try to remember to order a piece if I ever see it available on a restaurant menu. About my love of Sugar Cream Pie, I think I appreciate it most because of it's amazing flavor, but second, because it makes no pretense of being even a little bit good for you. There are no cherries, apples, blueberries or peaches in there to dilute the sugar flavor. I know, I know, there might be some eggs and cream in there, but they are totally overwhelmed by the sugar. Every one knows that the eggs are only in there to hold everything together. Just like in cake. I rest my case.
