Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Pie Crust (Use homemade or store-bought.)
  • 4 Large Eggs (Fresh and room temperature.)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Whole Milk (Can substitute with cream.)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract (Use pure for optimal flavor.)
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 dash Ground Nutmeg (Optional.)
  • 1 dash Zesty Orange Peel (Optional.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and line with parchment paper. Add weights and bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Heat until steaming, then remove from heat and take out cinnamon sticks.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale. Slowly temper by adding warm milk mixture while whisking.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into the pre-baked crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  5. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
