Ingredients

Scale

To make this rich and creamy custard pie, you’ll need:

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups whole milk (for best texture)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ground nutmeg, for topping

Ingredient Variations

  • Coconut Custard Pie: Add 1 cup shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
  • Lemon Custard Pie: Use lemon extract and zest for a fresh citrus flavor.
  • Keto Custard Pie: Replace sugar with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9.5-inch pie plate.

Step 2: Blend the Custard Mixture

In a blender or food processor, combine:
Butter
Eggs
Sugar
Salt
Milk
Vanilla extract
Flour

Blend for 30 seconds until smooth.

Step 3: Pour & Sprinkle Nutmeg

Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish and lightly sprinkle with ground nutmeg for an aromatic touch.

Step 4: Bake Until Set

Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes or until the custard is firm yet slightly jiggly in the middle.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let the custard pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy it warm or chilled!

Notes

  • Use Whole Milk – It creates the creamiest custard texture.
  • Don’t Overbake – The pie should still have a slight jiggle in the center.
  • Blend Thoroughly – A smooth batter ensures no lumps.
  • Let It Cool Properly – The custard will continue to set as it cools.
