Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs. Then, slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.
6. Continue cooking and whisking for another 2 minutes until the custard has thickened. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Pour the custard into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until set.
8. Before serving, top the pie with fresh mixed berries. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or simply scatter them over the custard. Serve chilled and enjoy!
