Silky Creamy Custard Pie brings eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla into an incredibly sweet creamy treat that is prepped in a matter of minutes.
Do you remember the way our grandparents used to cook with wholesome ingredients that everyone knew by name? There weren’t box mixes and shortcuts. What you put in a cake you pulled directly off the farm or the farmers market. This Silky Creamy Custard Pie reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. When she cooked everything seemed to come together so quickly and easily yet tasted so extraordinary.
This delectable Custard Pie has six ingredients if you purchase an unbaked pie crust. I know what you are thinking Grandma would never do. You are right but times were different then and there was not as much distraction then as there is now.
