Making Easy Homemade Raspberry Custard Pie, {Step-by-Step in Photos}

1. Make Your Pie Crust

For this step, you can make your own homemade pie crust or use a store-bought pie crust. Either will work well.

If you’re not familiar with how to make pie crust, see my video tutorial. It shows you step by step how to make your own homemade pie crust.

2. Place the Raspberries in the Pie Crust

Now we can have our pie crust placed in our pie plate, we want to add our washed and drained raspberries.

You want to pile them in there. It will look like a lot of raspberries, but they cook down. So don’t worry about having too many. Smooth them out a little and we’re ready to make the custard.

3. Make the Custard

Take the eggs, place them in a bowl. Add the vanilla and the milk and whisk to mix them.

Next you’ll add the flour and the sugar.

You’ll want to mix really well to make sure you get all the flour mixed in.

Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to get any sugar or flour that’s on the edges.

A whisk works really well to mix the custard ingredients.

Once all the flour is mixed in, your custard filling is ready.

4. Pour the Custard over the Raspberries

Now that we have our custard ready, we’re just going to pour it over the raspberries.

Then smooth out the raspberries a little so they’re there even. Giving the pie plate a brief shake can work to even out the berries too.

5. Bake the Pie

Place your custard pie in an oven 375 and bake for 45 to 60 minutes.

You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and the crust should be golden brown too.

The pie should be pretty well set. If you jiggle it, the pie in the middle will wiggle a little. And that means it is done, it’ll finish cooking outside the oven, while it cools.

But the whole pie shouldn’t be moving when you jiggle it.

Sometimes this pie takes me about 45-50 minutes to bake. Sometimes it takes me 60 to 65 minutes to bake.

The best way to check for doneness is to jiggle the pie. If there is a little wiggle in the middle, you know it’s done.

6. Let the Pie Fully Cool

I know, it looks delicious, you’re ready to dig in, but you really need to wait until it’s completely cooled before you cut into your pie.

This will give time for the custard to set up and you won’t have a running mess.

After baking you want to place your pie to cool on a wire rack and just let it sit there until it’s totally cooled before serving.
