Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter , frozen and diced
- 1/2 cup ice water
Custard Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
Whipped Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Pie Crust:
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt, and butter to a food processor and pulse, adding the water in a thin stream through the chute one tablespoon at a time until the dough begins tiny crumbles (don't let it become a ball).
- Empty it into a sheet of plastic wrap and press it quickly into a ball (you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) and refrigerate for 2 hours before rolling it out to use.
- Roll out the pie crust into a 12" circle, then add to a 9" pie plate and press the rim into a fluted pattern with your fingers.
- Line the pie crust with foil and fill with dried beans
- Bake the pie crust for 20 minutes then remove.
Custard Filling:
- Lower heat to 350 degrees.
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, whole milk and heavy cream.
- Add mixture to the pie plate and bake for 40 minutes.
- Note: If the edges are browning too quickly, tent with foil gently.
To Finish:
- Cool the pie completely in the fridge (3-4 hours) before topping with whipped cream.
Whipped Cream:
- To make the whipped cream add the powdered sugar to the heavy cream and beat until it forms medium peaks, about 1-2 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add the whipped cream to the middle of the pie, spread in a circle but leave a 1" border of the cream pie filling showing.
- Dust with additional nutmeg.
