Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Custard:
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • For the Praline Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until lightly beaten. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into the pre-made pie crust.
  5. Bake the Pie: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  7. Make the Praline Sauce: While the pie is cooling, prepare the praline sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, heavy cream, pecans, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  9. Serve: Slice the chilled custard pie and drizzle generously with warm praline sauce.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
