Top Tip
If you want to turn this into a savory pie, you can cut out the sugar and add sautéed onion, zucchini slices, and even top with a little extra cheese.Â
Variations

- Sweeter - This is lightly sweetened as written. For a sweeter pie try adding ¼ cup of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar.

Equipment

Storage
It's so easy to store leftovers of this homemade pie! Just let the pie cool completely, and then cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. This pie can be eaten cold or warmed in the microwave for a short time the next time that you have a craving.
If you want to freeze this pie, simply add it to a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
Common Questions
You can add whipped cream for a fun pop of sweetness! You can also add a little drizzle of honey as well, or even some maple syrup for natural sweetness options. I always recommend taking a bite of the pie first to decide if you even need to add any toppings to it. It might be perfect for your taste buds just the way it is!Â
It will! Once you bake the corn custard pie, it's important to let the pie cool so that it firms up and solidifies more.
It can be whatever you want; however, with the addition of sugar, the pie crust, and the sweet corn in the mixture, it has a sweeter taste that will remind people more of a dessert than a side dish.
If you're making this for a holiday dinner, I recommend having it on the table with all the fixings so that people can eat it at any point in time during the holiday meal!
