🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 large Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup Pitted dates
• 1 cup Raisins
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.333 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a homemade pie crust, roll out the dough and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates and raisins with 1 cup of milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the fruits soften, about 5 minutes.

3. Transfer the warm date and raisin mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.

4. In a large saucepan, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the blended date and raisin mixture until well combined.

6. Pour the creamy filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

8. Optionally, top the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts before serving for added texture and flair.

9. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Creamy Raisin Date Pie!
