Ingredients

For the Crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
¼ teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon sugar

For the Custard Filling

2 cups whole milk
½ cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Topping

1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons strawberry jam (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar (if using), and salt.
Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
Line the crust with parchment paper, fill with baking weights or dried beans, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden. Let cool.
2. Make the Custard Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk until warm but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap (directly touching the custard) and chill for at least 2 hours.
3. Assemble the Pie
Arrange the fresh strawberry slices over the custard in a decorative pattern.
If using a glaze, warm the strawberry jam slightly and brush it over the strawberries for a glossy finish.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy this creamy, fruity, and buttery custard pie as a refreshing dessert for any occasion!
