Instructions
  1. Make the Crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out dough and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Prick bottom with a fork. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk together all Filling ingredients (except butter) until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
  4. Pour filling into cooled crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  5. Just before serving, whip Heavy cream and Powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie.
