Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of condensed milk, or try adding a splash of heavy cream. If you prefer a sweeter custard, increase the sugar slightly. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending. Mixing the ingredients in a blender can help achieve a smooth consistency. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the custard pie chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. Consider serving it alongside Cheesy Snackeroos for a delightful contrast in textures. This dessert is perfect for potlucks or family gatherings, as it can easily be made ahead of time.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will help maintain its creamy texture without drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of condensed milk?
Yes, you can substitute the condensed milk with an equivalent amount of whole milk or a non-dairy milk alternative, but you may need to adjust the sugar since condensed milk is sweeter. For a richer flavor, consider adding a bit of heavy cream.
How do I know when the custard is done baking?
The custard is done when it is set and the top has turned a light golden color. You can gently shake the baking dish; if the center jiggles slightly but does not appear liquid, it is ready. Avoid overbaking, as this can lead to a rubbery texture.
Can I add flavors or toppings to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture. For toppings, consider fresh fruit, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkling of chocolate shavings to elevate the presentation and flavor profile.
