Ingredients:
- 12 - graham crackers crushed
- 2 tablespoons - sugar
- 6 tablespoons - unsalted butter melted
- 2/3 cups - sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 2 1/2 cups - cold milk
- 4 - large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoons - ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons - unsalted butter
- - fresh berries
Directions:
For Crust:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor blend graham crackers and sugar until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup crumb mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 min. Cool while preparing filling.
For Filling:
In a 3-qt saucepan, whisk together sugar, salt and cornstarch.
Add milk and egg yolks and whisk to combine. Heat mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until mixture begins to bubble; then cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, nutmeg and butter; place over a bowl filled with ice water to cool slightly before pouring into baked crust. Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 5 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crumbs. Serve cold with berries -- strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or blueberries.
