Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup sugar
Dairy:
- 1 cup evaporated milk
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and meticulously pierce the unbaked pie crust with a fork to prevent unwanted air pockets. Protect the shell with parchment paper, filling it with ceramic weights or uncooked rice.
- Roast the crust for precisely 15 minutes, ensuring a robust foundation. Delicately extract the weights and parchment, allowing the crust to rest and stabilize.
- Distribute blueberries uniformly across the cooled pastry shell, creating an even landscape of fruity potential.
- Craft the silky custard by whisking flour and sugar in a mixing vessel. Introduce evaporated milk gradually, stirring until the mixture transforms into a smooth emulsion.
- Incorporate beaten eggs, integrating cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly until the mixture achieves a luxurious, creamy consistency with no visible lumps.
- Cascade the custard mixture over the blueberries, ensuring complete and balanced coverage within the pie shell.
- Transfer the pie to the oven, initially roasting at 425°F for 15 minutes to establish a robust start. Reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes.
- Confirm doneness by checking the custard’s structural integrity – it should wobble slightly but appear set when gently nudged.
- Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, permitting the custard to solidify and flavors to harmonize before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Delicate custard nestles comfortably between juicy blueberries, creating a harmonious dance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Prebaking transforms the pie crust into a golden, crispy foundation that protects against soggy bottoms and locks in deliciousness.
- Cooling allows the creamy custard to set perfectly, ensuring each slice holds its shape with elegant precision.
