Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven and melt 1/4 cup butter in a pie pan.
- Remove the pie pan from the oven once butter is melted.
- Mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup canned milk until well combined.
- Beat in 4 large or 6 medium eggs, one at a time, into the flour and milk mixture.
- Pour the mixture over the melted butter in the pie pan.
- Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes until the mixture bakes into a shell.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
- Fill the baked shell with Cool Whip and fresh berries before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a lighter texture, ensure that you beat the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the flour and milk mixture. You can substitute the canned milk with whole milk or a dairy-free alternative if desired. Also, consider adding a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement. If you're short on time, pre-made whipped topping can replace the Cool Whip for easier assembly.
Serving Suggestions
This brunch treat is delightful when served warm and can be topped with Cool Whip and fresh berries for added flavor and texture. Pair it with a light salad or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with Tupperware Hot Chocolate Mix for a cozy brunch experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the shell in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the texture soggy.
