How to Make Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie crust into a pie plate. Fold edges under and crimp.
  2. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool the crust on a wire rack.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the custard filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set fully.
