A recipe for The Best Egg Custard Pie! It’s easy to make and melts in your mouth!
For the love of PIE, this recipe is SO GOOD! We didn’t even realize how much we loved egg custard pie until we altered and made this recipe!
It’s simple to make, melts in your mouth, and tastes like butter!
Just like this classic cherry pie recipe that is utterly scrumptious and is crisp perfection!
It literally tastes like the most delicious buttercream, custard-flavored pie with spices, lightly sweetened, and it’s delicious served warm or cold.
This recipe is a must-try, as you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how yummy it is!
The top of the pie has a crispy, buttery layer, which is divine, and once you bite into the mouth-watering custard, you’ll be hooked! We served it with shredded coconut and sliced almonds.
We added maple syrup to this egg custard pie, which gives it even more flavor depth and makes it the perfect brunch dessert. This recipe also uses buttermilk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. So good!
For the crust, you can use a store-bought crust, or you can make your own. We love this easy recipe for a buttery, flaky crust. It always turns out nicely.

The best part about this pie is that you can serve it warm or cold! It tastes just as good cold the next day. It can be refrigerated for a few days and enjoyed it. Although, we highly doubt there will be any left after the first day!
The pie can look very plain, so to add some color and charm, we sifted powdered sugar mixed with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon and then added shredded coconut and sliced almonds to one side.
Also, if you want to add a little color, you can use dried tea flowers. You can also alter the toppings depending on the season or holiday.
