How to Make Fresh Berry Cardamom Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake your favorite pie crust (homemade or store-bought) according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup whole milk. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the sugar mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cardamom and 1 tablespoon triple sec (or your preferred liqueur, or omit).
- Let the custard cool for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Pour the cooled custard into the prepared pie crust.
- Arrange 2 cups of fresh berries (such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries) over the custard.
- Optional: Sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds over the berries.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup berry preserves (your choice of flavor) and 1 tablespoon triple sec (or other liqueur). Microwave for 30-40 seconds, or until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Stir well and brush the warm glaze over the top of the pie.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
