Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust
- 15 ounces Canned fruit cocktail (drained)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- 8 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into place. Trim or flute the edges as desired.
Drain the canned fruit cocktail completely and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
Spread the drained fruit cocktail evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the fruit in the pie crust, ensuring that it evenly covers the fruit.
Gently tap the pie pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. To check if it is done, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with whipped cream and maraschino cherries for added flavor and presentation.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Fruit Cocktail Pie!
