Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat. If you don’t have Bisquick, a homemade pancake mix works just as well. Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor. If you're looking for a fun twist, you can mix in some chocolate chips or fruit like blueberries or bananas, which can also complement this custard pie beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Baked Custard Pie warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a light dessert like Mississippi Riverboat Apricot Salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy it as a delightful finish to a family dinner or a special gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, ensuring the pie maintains its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute almond milk, soy milk, or any other non-dairy milk if you're looking for a dairy-free option. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, but it should still work well in this baked custard pie.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is ready when it is set in the center and has a golden-brown top. You can check for doneness by gently shaking the pie pan; the filling should not jiggle excessively. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Can I freeze the Baked Custard Pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie, but it's best to do so before adding any toppings like whipped cream. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. To serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed.
