Pudding Pie
Indulge in the velvety sweetness and buttery crust of this classic Pudding Pie. A harmonious marriage of creamy pudding filling in a flaky crust topped with optional toppings for a delightful dessert experience.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate shavings
- Caramel sauce
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough for a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim excess, crimp edges, prick bottom, and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Pre-bake the crust at 375°F for 15 minutes with pie weights, then bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Let the crust cool completely.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan until steaming. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Gradually whisk in hot milk, return to the saucepan, cook until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, let cool slightly.
- Pour warm pudding filling into the cooled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, chill for at least 4 hours.
- Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or caramel sauce before serving.
