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.
Old Fashioned Silky Creamy Custard Pie
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.

DO YOU GREASE the pie pan,, silky custard pie
I must ask are you making a homemade pie crust?
I doubled this & had enough for 3 pies. I only have 2 crust; any suggestions for storage or use of the remainder? Can it be pot boiled into a pudding? Thanks!

You could bake in a casserole dish for a custard. I would grease the dish a little bit.
Thank you! I don’t know why it made so much. I also had to bake the [2] pies for 65 minutes! They look & smell wonderful, though :). We’ll see in a couple hours. Might as well cook the “casserole custard” while the oven is still hot. Thanks again!
How do you think it would be if I added coconut to make it a coconut custard pie
I think it would taste delicious.
Made it and delicious. Pie cooked up great except the edges by the crimping of crust was a little moister than the rest of the pie.
Glad that you liked it! Thanks for the heads up! I love that pie!
OMG This is the best custard pie!! I had leftovers so I put it in a few ramekin and made small servings…
Definitely a keeper
