Macadamia nut cream pie recipe question!?

Question

Are you familiar with the Hawaii Electric Co. recipe that calls for 3/4 cup sugar but in the directions only uses 1/4 cup of the sugar? Is that a typo or is the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar supposed to be used to whip the cream for the topping? It does not state that. And I wonder if only 1/4 cup of sugar is enough to sweeten the custard sufficiently.

Should I use use 3/4 cup of sugar in the custard? The recipe is here:

Answer 1

I think the rest of the sugar has to be used for the cream or so it sounds...
