Raspberry Custard Pie
I remember the custard pie my husband’s grandmother would make.
She served it topped with nutmeg and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Truth be told I never had a piece of her plain custard pie.
I always waited for the raspberry one.
Thes are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
Crust:
- 1 pkg crust at room temperature, or make your own
Filling:
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 1-3/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
These are the INSTRUCTIONS For Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Gently rinse fresh raspberries immediately before use, pat dry with paper towel.
- Combine milk, sugar, eggs, and cornstarch and mix thoroughly.
- Pour mixture into pie shell. Optional Add berries to the custard mixture.
- Brush an egg wash over the top crust prior to baking. This provides a rich, brown glaze. Place in oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool before serving. Custard should set as it cools.
- Frozen raspberries should be allowed to thaw and drain completely in colander before baking.
NOTES:
Brush an egg wash over the top crust prior to baking. This provides a rich, brown glaze.
Store bought crust from the dairy or already prepared is fine.

My husband’s grandfather had raspberry bushes in his yard.
My husband tells the story of when he was little, playing outside amongst the bushes.
He and his sister would pluck raspberries off the bushes and eat them.
I even have a picture of it!
His grandparents would give both the children a basket to fill with the fresh raspberries.
That is a memory I love to replicate.
I know he thinks back to those lazy warm days he spent with his grandparents. He seems to drift away in thought.
She was a typical Polish grandmother. She was always in the kitchen cooking or baking.
Even as my husband and I were engaged she always made sure everyone had something t eat.
Did you ever see pictures of a large table full of food? Those were just to satisfy us before dinner.
There is something about the color and “taste of spring” a good fruit pie brings to the table.
Fresh from the bush, these raspberries make this custard pie pop!
This one is a perfect combination of both fruit and custard.
It is very different than the pies my own Italian grandmother would make.
But the spread of “appetizers” on her table were just as plentiful as Mr. L’s grandparents.
I never had the opportunity to cook with Busia. I wish I had. She made the best Polish food. I will never come close to her skills.
But this Raspberry Custard Pie is one that I can.
Sadly this recipe isn;t from her recipe box. But it looks the same and tastes like heaven.
This pie is so easy to prepare any skill level can make this.
I hope you give it a try. You will surely add it to your own list of pies to make.

Congratulations on the Feature at Foodie Friday. I really do love this pie.
Thank you so much for the feature Amy. I am thrilled and also glad you like the pie. Have a great day.
Why 2 pie crust? Did I miss something ? This looks amazing!!!
The recipe makes 2 crusts. Only 1 is needed for the recipe if you make 1 pies. I clarified that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
With vanilla bean icecream….yum!
Oooh yes! I am really getting to crave vanilla bean. Glad you like it. Have a great day.
I love the berries on top, a yummy looking pie. That vanilla ice cream that you mentioned would go so well with this pie.
We will feature it on the next Blogger’s Pit Stop.

More berries!! The very best part of summer. I just picked (and ate) the first raspberry on our vine yesterday. Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party – have a great week!
I remember the raspberry bushes at mt grampa’s house. We loved to pick them, but not many made it back to the table. LOL. Have a great week.
Oh my, does this sound good!. I love raspberries, and mixed with the custard sounds divine. Thank you for bringing back the memory of my grandma’s pies. There really is something about the color and “taste of Spring” that a good fruit pie does bring to the table. Thanks for sharing at Dare to Share Saturday.
I am so glad I could bring back a lovely memory. It is such a special thing. This pie was a delicious change to the plain custard pies. Enjoy!
Yummm! Pinned!
