Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Blueberry Custard Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat until just simmering, then slowly pour into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Stir in the cornstarch until fully dissolved.
  6. Spread the fresh blueberries evenly over the baked pie crust.
  7. Pour the custard mixture over the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before refrigerating for an additional 2 hours to chill completely.
  10. Slice and serve, optionally garnished with extra blueberries.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them first.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the custard mixture.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out blueberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry custard pie.
  • Add a layer of lemon zest to the custard for a citrusy kick.
  • Try a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust for a different texture.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors.
  • Fresh mint leaves for an aromatic garnish.
  • A drizzle of berry sauce for extra sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover Blueberry Custard Pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It’s best served cold and does not require reheating.
