Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ C granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ C heavy cream
- 1 ¼ C whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and put the prepared pie crust into a 9 inch pie plate, making sure to gently press the pie crust into the sides of the pie pan.
- Pinch the edges together or use a pie crimper to get a nice crimped look. Put pie weights on the bottom of the pie to keep it from bubbling up and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pie weights and bake the pie crust for 5 more minutes then let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth to make your egg mixture.
- Add the heavy cream, milk, vanilla, almond extract, and the salt to the large bowl. Mix everything together until smooth to make your creamy filling.
- Add the custard mix you just made into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Sprinkle the top of the custard with nutmeg.
- Tent the pie with foil and place it in the preheated oven to cook for 35 minutes. Remove the foil after the 35 minutes is up and bake the pie for 5 more minutes. The pie is done when a knife comes out clean. It'll likely still be jiggly but should be cooked.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours.
- Serve chilled
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and serve chilled straight from the fridge.
- Freeze the pie by wrapping tightly with plastic wrap and freezing for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge when and serve chilled you’re ready to enjoy after freezing. You can either freeze an entire pie or cut into slices and wrap each slice individually.
- Don’t have pie weights? Try one of these pie weight substitutions instead.
