AUTHENTIC GERMAN/AMISH CUSTARD CHEESE PIE

Authentic German/Amish Custard Cheese Pie image

This is an easy to make, light custard pie from my husbands grandmother. Use either a graham cracker crust or a pastry crust-either tastes great. I use a deep dish pastry pie crust. This pie tastes better the next day since it give the flavors time to marry and set. Chocolate curls/whipped cream/cool whip can be added before...

Tips:

To ensure a smooth custard filling, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing them together. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
When adding the hot milk to the egg mixture, do so gradually while whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help to create a moist and creamy custard filling.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the custard to set properly.
Serve the pie with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
