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...

This pie is simply amazing! The custard filling is rich and creamy, and the cheese adds a nice tang. The crust is also very flaky and flavorful. I will definitely be making this pie again for my next potluck.
