Cream Cheese Custard Pie image

I love Cheesecake. I love Baked Custard. I love a Good Buttery Crust. This recipe has all of that going for it. It is a very satisfying custard dessert; that has all the appeal of a cheesecake, but is much lighter. Fresh Fruit or a Dessert Sauce will only make it better....and the good news about the crust......You Press It...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 c all purpose flour
3/8 tsp kosher salt
10 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cut in pats
2 tsp sugar
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water
FOR THE CUSTARD FILLING
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/3 c sugar
2 large eggs + 1 yolk
1/2 c half and half or canned evaporated milk
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. For the crust, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • 2. Place flour, 3/8 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar and butter in a food processor and pulse repeatedly until a coarse meal is achieved.
  • 3. Beat the egg yolk with the water and add to the flour/butter mix. Pulse a few times, just until the dough comes together.
  • 4. Turn dough out into a 9 inch pie pan. Press evenly with fingertips to form an even crust.
  • 5. Cover the crust with non-stick foil. Shape to fit tightly on top of crust with the non-stick side facing down. Fill with dried beans or pie weights.
  • 6. Bake crust for 10 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees for 10 more minutes. Remove from oven and carefully lift the beans and foil of the top of the crust.
  • 7. Place the crust back in the oven for three more minutes, uncovered, to dry out. Remove from oven and cool on rack, while you mix your custard. keep the oven at 375 degrees.
  • 8. For the custard, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until very smooth and homogenous. Pour into the slightly cooled crust.
  • 9. Bake at 375 degrees about 25 minutes, or until set. Use a pie shield to prevent the edges of the crust from burning.
  • 10. Cool pie an a rack. Chill a few hours. Let sit a room temp for 30 minutes, when you want to serve.

This pie was a complete disaster! The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled. I had to throw the whole thing away.

The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I don't think I'll be making this pie again.

This pie was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or extracts in the filling.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly. It was still a bit crumbly when I cut into it. The filling was delicious though!

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was flaky and the filling was smooth and creamy. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling by half.

This pie was delicious! The cream cheese filling was rich and creamy, and the graham cracker crust was the perfect complement. It was a hit with my family and friends.

This cream cheese custard pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The filling was creamy and rich, and the graham cracker crust was the perfect complement. It was a great way to end the meal.
