Let’s get baking!
✨ Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust (or use store-bought):
– 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 3-4 tbsp ice water
For the Custard Filling:
– 3 large eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Layer:
– 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
– 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (if using frozen blueberries)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
– In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to come together.
– Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
– Roll out on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press into dish and trim edges.
– Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prick the crust with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
2. Add the Blueberries:
– Spread fresh blueberries evenly into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
– If using frozen, toss them in 1 tbsp flour first to reduce extra moisture.
3. Make the Custard:
– In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with sugar and salt until combined.
– Stir in milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
– Carefully pour the custard mixture over the blueberries until the pie crust is nearly full.
4. Bake the Pie:
– Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45–50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
– Check the pie at 30 minutes; if the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
5. Cool & Serve:
– Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.
– Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream!
🍽️ Tip: For a flavor twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the custard mixture!
This Blueberry Custard Pie is rich, not too sweet, and absolutely satisfying. Whether served warm, chilled, or with a side of vanilla ice cream, it’s sure to become a family favorite. Sharing is optional… because you may just want the whole pie to yourself!
