Crust-less Custard Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make pie recipe. Do you remember the Impossible Pies of the 1970s? The same concept applies as the flour settles to the bottom of the pie and makes a crunchy crust.
This Custard Pie is a low-calorie pie option as it is healthy, wholesome, and a nourishing dessert. This crust-less custard pie has a smooth custard filling and a crunchy golden top. This custard pie is sweet but not too sweet, rich but not too rich, but just perfect. Your family will definitely love this gluten-free pie! It is super easy and very delicious.

- 2 cups whole raw milk*
- 3/4 cup maple sugar
- 7 small eggs or 5 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom, ground
- 1/8 teaspoon coriander, ground
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 2 tablespoons Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix**
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds***
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon and nutmeg mixture (optional garnish)
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to center position. Lightly butter (or use coconut oil) a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
-
Using your blender, add the milk, maple sugar, eggs, salt, cardamom, coriander, nutmeg, Pamela's Baking Mix, chia seeds, and butter. Blend on high until well mixed. Add vanilla extract and mix a little more.
-
Pour custard mixture into the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon/nutmeg over the top.
-
Bake approximately 60 to 70 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean, but the center of the custard is just set, it will jiggle a little when shaken, that's when you can remove it from the oven. If using a digital instant-read thermometer, inserted in the centers, it should register 180 degrees F. Begin checking temperature about 10 minutes before recommended times.
-
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack before serving. Note: Pie will sink when cool.
-
Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

*** Chia Seeds: Chai seeds are an excellent source of essential fatty acids and are a great addition to a healthy diet. They are an edible seed that comes from the desert plant "Salvia hispanica," a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico. The seeds are either white or black and both types are highly nutritious. Learn more about the Ancient Chia Seed - How it Can Benefit Your health.
