Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
Make the Custard Filling
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat until just simmering, then remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.
Bake the Pie
- Pour the custard filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve
- Top each slice with whipped cream and a dusting of ground cinnamon before serving.

Notes
