Authentic German/Amish Custard Cheese Pie image

This is an easy to make, light custard pie from my husbands grandmother. Use either a graham cracker crust or a pastry crust-either tastes great. I use a deep dish pastry pie crust. This pie tastes better the next day since it give the flavors time to marry and set. Chocolate curls/whipped cream/cool whip can be added before...

I'm surprised this recipe is even online. It's terrible.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly, but the pie still tasted great.

I'm not usually a fan of custard pies, but this one was really good. The cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The custard filling is rich and creamy, and the cheese adds a nice tang. The crust is also very flaky and buttery.
