CLASSIC EGG CUSTARD PIE WITH LOTS OF NUTMEG



Classic Egg Custard Pie with Lots of Nutmeg image

Old-fashioned yet quietly innovative, this custard pie juxtaposes two ordinarily opposing forces -- satisfyingly creamy and ethereally light -- within a single filling. It's also unsparing with the spice and all the better as a result.

Number Of Ingredients 10

All-purpose flour, for surface
Sweet Pastry Dough for Custard Pie
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
12 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons arrowroot
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick round. Fit into a 9-by-2-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Line with parchment, and fill shell with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove beans and parchment, and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • With the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a saucepan, and add pod. Add cream and milk, and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat, and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, add warm cream mixture in a slow, steady stream. Add arrowroot and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into cooled crust. Skim foam from surface.
  • Bake until edges of filling are set but center is still slightly wobbly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Before serving, unmold, sprinkle with nutmeg, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the milk and cream are cold before adding them to the egg mixture. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a graham cracker crust or a store-bought pie crust.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the pie from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Magic Egg Custard Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With its creamy, custard filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Magic Egg Custard Pie a try.
