Description

Cranberry Custard Pie Delight is a delicious dessert featuring a flaky pie crust filled with a sweet tart cranberry mixture and a rich custard layer, perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4–6 tablespoons ice water
  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough forms a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer carefully to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp edges. Freeze for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking during baking.
  3. Combine cranberries, water, sugar, lemon juice, and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer 10-15 minutes until cranberries burst and mixture thickens to jam consistency. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour, and nutmeg until combined. Heat cream in a saucepan until just about to boil, whisking to avoid scorching. Slowly add hot cream to egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Mix until smooth.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread cranberry filling evenly over crust. Pour custard over filling gently. Bake 45-55 minutes until custard is set but slightly jiggly in center. Cool on wire rack then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
