Yield makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pâte Brisée (page 322)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and scraped, pod reserved
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (2 1/2 ounces) golden rum, preferably Appleton
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons and softened
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round, 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under, flush with rim, and crimp edges. Pierce bottom of shell all over with a fork. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line shell with parchment; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges begin to turn gold, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Bake until crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack. (Crust can be wrapped in foil and stored overnight at room temperature.)
  • Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and vanilla seeds, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
  • Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Add milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until butter melts before adding next piece. Let cool, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filling is firm, 4 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Meanwhile, place cream and vanilla pod in a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate 4 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Just before serving, remove pod from cream, and discard. Whisk cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon rum, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (such as Ateco #826 or Wilton #8B), and pipe whipped cream over pie. Serve immediately.

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

I'm not a huge fan of rum, but I thought this pie was still delicious. The vanilla cream filling is perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The filling was a little too runny.

This pie is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

I used a pre-made crust to save time, and it worked out great. The pie still tasted homemade.
