Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Prepared mincemeat filling
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is evenly pressed against the sides and bottom. Trim any excess overhang and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Spread the prepared mincemeat filling evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Ensure the filling is smooth and level.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined and pale in color.
Gradually add the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the egg-sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth custard base.
Gently pour the custard mixture over the mincemeat layer in the pie crust. Take care not to disturb the mincemeat layer while pouring.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. The edges of the custard should be firm and lightly golden.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
