Description
A delightful dessert combining the tangy taste of fresh cranberries with a silky custard filling, all nestled in a buttery pie crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the pie crust and fit it into a pie pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream while continuing to whisk.
- Gently fold in the cranberries, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
- Let it cool before slicing. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream.
Notes
For a thicker filling, consider adding an extra egg. Cover pie crust edges with foil if browning too quickly. Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor.
