If using a pre-made graham cracker or biscuit crust, place it in your pie dish and set aside.
If you prefer making your own, you can blend crushed biscuits and melted butter to form a simple crust and bake it briefly for a crispy texture.
Combine the Milks:
In a medium saucepan, combine the regular milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Stir everything together to ensure the mixture is smooth.
Cook the Mixture:
Over medium heat, warm the milk mixture while stirring constantly. Do not let it boil! Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add the pinch of salt and vanilla extract (if using), and stir well to combine.
Thicken the Filling:
If the filling hasn't thickened to your desired consistency, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and gradually add it to the hot mixture while stirring. This will help thicken the filling without altering the flavor.
Pour into the Crust:
Once the filling has thickened and is creamy, pour it into your prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
Chill the Pie:
Allow the pie to cool for about 15 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours to set completely. This will give the filling time to firm up and become perfectly creamy.
Garnish and Serve:
Once the pie is set, you can top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for a touch of elegance. Slice and enjoy!
