How to Make Canadian Blueberry Custard Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare your pie crust: Use enough pastry for a deep 9-inch single-crust pie. Roll out and gently place in your pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine: 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 1 lemon.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Evenly distribute the berries.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the berries.
- To prevent over-browning, cover the edges of the crust with strips of aluminum foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup heavy cream until smooth and pale yellow.
- Carefully remove the pie from the oven.
- Gently pour the prepared custard over the warm blueberries in the pie crust.
- Lightly grate fresh nutmeg over the top.
- Return the pie to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden. The custard is done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the custard to set properly.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Yields 6 servings.
