Raspberry Custard Pie
A delightful raspberry custard pie featuring fresh raspberries and a flaky crust, perfect for a sweet summer dessert or a charming brunch treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Use a fork to press down the bottom of the pie crust so it will not bubble up in the center.
- Fill the pie crust with raspberries.
- Sprinkle sugar and flour evenly over the raspberries.
- Bake until the custard is set and the crust is golden.
Tips & Substitutions
To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, consider pre-baking it for a few minutes before adding the raspberries. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can substitute with frozen ones, but be sure to thaw and drain them beforehand. For added flavor, a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the sweetness of the raspberries.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Raspberry Custard Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Potato Punch for a refreshing drink. Enjoy it as a light dessert after a meal or as a sweet treat during afternoon tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this pie?
Yes, you can substitute raspberries with other berries like blueberries or blackberries. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust the sugar accordingly based on the fruit you choose.
What can I do if the custard doesn't set?
If the custard doesn't set, it may need more baking time. Keep an eye on it and bake until the center is firm and the crust is golden. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
Is this pie suitable for vegans?
The standard recipe includes dairy, but you can easily make a vegan version by using a dairy-free pie crust and substituting any dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives like almond milk or coconut cream for a creamy filling.
