EASY CUSTARD PIE
This Easy Custard Pie is so simple to make and so good served with whipped cream. I love nutmeg and sprinkling it on top really adds to this pie. You could add a cup of coconut to the filling, too. This pie will keep for several days refrigerated. Great for any holiday meal or just anytime you want an easy pie to take to a gathering or just make it for the family for a treat.

This pie is a little different from the traditional custard pie, but it is absolutely delicious and super easy to make. If you need a quick dessert this is a great one.
“This pie has a lot of flavor even though you don’t add much in the sense of flavorings, it is great just on it’s own without adding any other flavorings to it!!! Thanks for posting!!” – Eilleen
“I was sooo skeptical when it said 1 1/4 cups of water but it cooked PERFECTLY (although I added about 8 extra minutes just because last time I tried a different recipe for this it was completely liquid after an hour of cooking) I forgot to stir in the nutmeg so I had to just sprinkle it on top mixed with cinnamon.” – Jennifer
“This was excellent custard. I made it in a round pan, covered it with foil, and steamed it in my instant pot for 8 minutes. It came out perfectly and my husband and I were wowed by both the taste and texture.”- Cynthia
