Description
🎄 This Christmas Custard Pie is a creamy, silky dessert that captures the cozy flavors of the holidays! With a buttery crust, rich vanilla custard filling, and a hint of nutmeg, it’s the perfect festive pie for your Christmas table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
- Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg or powdered sugar before serving for a festive touch.
Notes
🥧 Tip: For an extra-holiday flavor, add a splash of rum or a pinch of cinnamon to the custard mixture. Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of nutmeg for the perfect Christmas dessert!
