Serving and Storage
Slice and serve your Egg Custard Pie at room temperature or chilled straight from the refrigerator. The creamy texture pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s a simple dessert that always tastes elegant and comforting.
Tips for the Perfect Custard Pie
- Use whole milk: The higher fat content helps achieve a richer, creamier texture.
- Avoid overbaking: The custard should be just set with a gentle wobble in the center — overbaking can cause it to crack.
- For even baking: Bake the pie on a baking sheet or place it on the middle rack to prevent the crust from browning too quickly.
- Chill before slicing: For cleaner slices and the best flavor, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Rich, velvety, and delicately spiced, this Old-Fashioned Egg Custard Pie is proof that simple ingredients make the best desserts. It’s a recipe you’ll come back to again and again — because some traditions are just too good to change. 🥧✨
