How to Make Peach Custard Pie | Food Wishes

This gorgeous peach custard pie is a cross between a peach pie and Southern chess pie, and has the perfect amount of fresh peach to balance with the creamy custard and the flaky crust. You’ll also learn how to blind bake the crust, which is optional, but ensures that the bottom crust will be properly cooked. Enjoy!

I love peaches! Just bought some. But I love custard, too so I can't wait to make this chess pie which I thought would be too fancy and hard to make, but as always, Chef John makes it easy!

All these years and Chef John has never let a dish properly cool before digging in 😮

Our family had a version We called "peach stuff": combine a cup of flour a little bit of salt in a stick of butter and press it in the bottom of the pan. Cover it with drained canned peaches, a cup of sugar and some cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Then remove and pour on top a half a cup of the peach juice and 1 beaten egg and a can of evaporated milk. Bake for another 30 minutes. Just as good.

I confess I've never had an issue with too many peaches in a peach pie. It is my favorite summer pie. I don't disagree with Chef John often, but this is one of those times.

I just got a delivery today from the Peach Truck out of Georgia. This peach pie recipe is timely! Thanks :)

Interesting take on chess pie. We still make my grandmother’s recipe, especially around the holidays. We often serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think that would work just fine here.

This looks AMAZING, one of the most stunning delicious looking pies I've ever seen. Every pie/dessert i've made from you has been amazing and I'll definitely try this one out ASAP :)

I made this recipe. And although I think the recipe called for 2 peaches, I used 1 more, and made the custard at 1 1/2 times the recipe called for, and the result was excellent. Chef John, you are amazing. This is a really good Pie. And super easy to make.

I've used your crust recipe for sugar free apple pie and chicken pot pie. It's excellent.

The crust is everything in anykind of pie

I'm so glad he picked it up and just took a bite out of the whole piece like a piece of pizza cuz the whole time he was cutting it with the fork I was just thinking pick it up and eat it😂❤
