A real old fashioned version of a Vanilla Custard Pie just like Grandma used to make. Top with fresh raspberries or any fresh berries or fruit of your choice.<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Old](\"https:\/\/www.rockrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Old-Fashioned-Vanilla-Custard-Pie-close-up-photo-of-full-pie.jpg\")
<\/p>\nOld Fashioned Vanilla Custard Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I normally make this uncomplicated creamy custard pie in a butter pastry crust. My daughter Olivia, however, is an absolute nut for anything in a graham crumb crust. <\/span><\/p>\nTo her, a graham crumb crust on its own would be a perfectly acceptable dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Old](\"https:\/\/www.rockrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Old-Fashioned-Vanilla-Custard-Pie-photo-of-a-single-slice-on-a-white-plate.jpg\")

So, on this occasion I relented to her wishes and used her favourite pie vessel instead. If you want to use a blind baked sweet butter pastry instead, just use the one that\u2019s included with our Summer Fruit Creme Brulee Tart recipe.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span>

<\/b>The custard is one that I have been making for a very, very long time. My local market was out of vanilla beans at the time I made this pie, so I substituted good vanilla extract. <\/span><\/p>\nAs a preferred alternative to using vanilla extract, you can add one large vanilla bean to the milk as it is being slowly scalded. Split the bean, scrape out the seeds into the milk and add the bean to the pot as well. <\/span><\/p>\nJust remove the pod before adding the milk to the flour mixture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\nOld Fashioned Vanilla Custard Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If the crust in this pie is my daughter\u2019s favourite, the top has to be my son\u2019s. Like me, he adores fresh raspberries.<\/span><\/p>\n On more than one occasion, a pint or two that I purchased for a specific recipe have suddenly gone missing from the fridge. <\/span><\/p>\nI love the combination of the tart raspberries and luscious custard in this pie. Truth be told, though, any fresh seasonal berry or fruit at its peak would be equally as good in this delicious, unfussy dessert that just says homemade goodness.<\/span><\/p>\nLike this Old Fashioned Custard Pie recipe?<\/span><\/h3>\nYou\u2019ll find hundreds of other sweet ideas in our Cakes & Pies Category<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and even more in our Desserts Category<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s easy to keep up with the latest home style cooking & baking ideas from Rock Recipes.
