Cream Cheese Custard Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, confectioners' sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before filling. Leave the oven on.
• For the cream cheese filling: Put the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before topping; leave the oven on.
• For the sour cream topping: Combine the sour cream, granulated sugar and vanilla in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Spread onto the pie and bake 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• 1. For the crust, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 2. Place flour, 3/8 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar and butter in a food processor and pulse repeatedly until a coarse meal is achieved.
• 3. Beat the egg yolk with the water and add to the flour/butter mix. Pulse a few times, just until the dough comes together.
• 4. Turn dough out into a 9 inch pie pan. Press evenly with fingertips to form an even crust.
• 5. Cover the crust with non-stick foil. Shape to fit tightly on top of crust with the non-stick side facing down. Fill with dried beans or pie weights.
• 6. Bake crust for 10 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees for 10 more minutes. Remove from oven and carefully lift the beans and foil of the top of the crust.
• 7. Place the crust back in the oven for three more minutes, uncovered, to dry out. Remove from oven and cool on rack, while you mix your custard. keep the oven at 375 degrees.
• 8. For the custard, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until very smooth and homogenous. Pour into the slightly cooled crust.
• 9. Bake at 375 degrees about 25 minutes, or until set. Use a pie shield to prevent the edges of the crust from burning.
• 10. Cool pie an a rack. Chill a few hours. Let sit a room temp for 30 minutes, when you want to serve.

Steps:

• Put cream in a small pot with thyme and garlic, if you're using them. Cook just until it begins to steam. Heat oven to 300 degrees and set a kettle of water to boil.
• Put eggs, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl and whisk or beat until blended; stir in the cheese. Remove thyme and garlic from cream, then add cream gradually to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into a 1-quart dish or into 4 ramekins or custard cups.
• Put dish or ramekins in a deep baking pan and pour boiling water in, to within about 1 inch of top of dish or ramekins. Bake until mixture is not quite set; it should jiggle a bit in middle. This will take about 30 minutes for ramekins and longer for baking dish; also, cream sets faster than milk. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold within a few hours of baking.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed until smooth. Pour filling into graham cracker crust.
