If you're looking for a simple and tasty dessert that can be prepped in minutes, you'll definitely want to give this pie a try!

Why is it called a Magic Crust Custard Pie??? When baking, the flour settles to the bottom of the pie plate, creating a "magic crust."

This pie turns into some amazing custard goodness! It's sweet, eggy and so filling! The rhubarb adds a delicious tartness that goes so perfectly with the sweet custard.

It's become our "go-to" dessert when we need something quick. The ingredients are things we all typically have in our fridge and pantry, and while you're chatting with company, it can be baking in the oven!

Top with some freshly whipped cream, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra special touch.

Back in 2012, I shared the original Magic Crust Custard Pie. That one is amazing too! Click over and give it a try!

Recipe tips:

  • To check if the pie is set, insert a toothpick or cake tester in the center of the pie. The toothpick will come out clean once the pie is ready. If needed cook for an additional 5 minutes, then re-check. Repeat if necessary.

Rhubarb Magic Crust Custard Pie

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, cut into ¼” pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spread butter evenly in a 9 inch pie plate to completely coat the bottom and sides. Add the sliced rhubarb to the pie plate.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a blender. Mix until well combined, about one minute. Pour over rhubarb until the pie plate is full.
  4. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the center is set. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing and serving. Serve topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

A food processor may be used instead of a blender.


To check if the pie is set, insert a toothpick or cake tester in the center of the pie. The toothpick will come out clean once the pie is ready. If needed cook for an additional 5 minutes, then re-check. Repeat if necessary.


Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container.

  2. Will instant tapioca work for this? If so, I can totally make this tomorrow without going to the store.

    1. I used small pearl tapioca, so I think the instant should work! It should thicken the Pie either way!
