Date Custard Pie Recipe

Date custard pie is always a show stopper at our family functions. Some people will shy away from it, thinking that they don’t like dates or custard... but once they try a piece, they will be all over you for the recipe!

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp course salt
3 cups hot milk
1 tsp vanilla
gratings of nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped dates.
1 - 9 1/2” deep dish pie shell, or two 9” shallow pie shells.
Use our 3-2-1 Pie Crust Recipe

Method:
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar and salt.
Slowly add milk to temper eggs, then add vanilla and nutmeg.
Spread dates over unbaked pie shell (s).
Pour custard mixture over dates.

Place pie in an oven pre-heated to 450º, turn down to 325º.
Cook until custard has set. 35-40 minutes for 9” shallow pies, 60 minutes for
9 1/2” deep dish pie.

Of course you don’t need to add the dates... then you will have a plain custard pie. All cooking times and other directions would remain the same.

Caramel Sauce

Caramel Sauce! How can you live without this stuff on your Ice Cream, or Cake? If you’ve been scared off by all the warnings about how hard it is to make (sugar that crystalises into rock hard candy), don’t worry; this recipe has a bit of corn syrup in it. The syrup keeps the mixture liquid - easing your fears.
