CRANBERRY CUSTARD PIE
Steps:
- For the crust: Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor. Process a few times to combine. While pulsing, add the cubes of butter. Keep pulsing until the mixture looks like a coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons of the water and process again a few times. Add more water until the dough starts to come together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Shape into a round and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and roll out into a large round, about 12 inches. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, fold over the sides and use a fork to press a design into the edges.
- For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until uniform in color and no egg white is visible. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla and orange zest and whisk to combine. Add the cranberries to the bottom of the pie crust and pour the custard over the top.
- Bake until the custard is set with a slight wobble in the center, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more tartness than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using them.
- Don't overcook the custard. The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Overcooked custard will be tough and rubbery.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious contrast to the tartness of the cranberries.
Conclusion:
Cranberry custard pie is a classic holiday dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. With its creamy custard filling and tart cranberries, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give cranberry custard pie a try.
