Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for topping
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
How to Make Blueberry Custard Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
- Place the pre-made pie crust in the greased pie dish and press it down firmly. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the whole milk, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries on the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the custard mixture over the blueberries, ensuring they are well covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
- Before serving, top with additional fresh blueberries for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen berries can release too much liquid.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating to avoid a soggy crust.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the custard mixture.
Easy Variations
- Swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry custard pie.
- Add a layer of lemon curd beneath the custard filling for a citrus twist.
- Top the pie with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of freshly whipped cream can elevate the pie’s creamy texture.
- Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla or lavender ice cream for a refreshing contrast.
- Pair with a light summer salad to balance the dessert’s richness.
