Decadent Desserts: Vanilla Bean Custard Pie

I’m excited to share with you a new dessert recipe today that is perfect for any occasion. This Vanilla Bean Custard Pie is a luxurious treat that will impress your family and friends with its rich flavors and creamy texture.

Ingredients:

• store-bought pie crust (9-inch)
• whole milk (480ml)
• vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• granulated sugar (150g)
• cornstarch (30g)
• salt (1/4 tsp)
• egg yolks (4)
• butter (60g), cubed

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• saucepan
• whisk
• pie dish (9-inch)

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the store-bought pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla bean (including the scraped seeds) over medium heat until hot but not boiling.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cubed butter until melted. Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top.

Once the pie is done, let it cool to room temperature before serving. This Vanilla Bean Custard Pie weighs approximately 900 grams, serves 8, with an average serving weight of 112.5 grams. Each serving is approximately 250 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of the pie before serving for an extra burst of flavor. I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this decadent dessert. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make it your own by adding toppings or adjusting the sweetness to your liking. Happy baking!
