Pear Vanilla Custard Pie – Low Carb, Gluten-Free

With creamy vanilla custard and ripe pears, this Pear Vanilla Custard Pie is worth every bite. 

Pear Vanilla Custard Pie – Low Carb, Gluten-Free, No Sugar Added

One of my girlfriends from college, Kris, is famous for her Pear Vanilla Custard Pie. She has made it many times for our girls’ nights and has passed out the recipe among our group. I’ve made it 4 or 5 times over the last few years but it was not gluten or sugar-free. When I had a few very ripe pears in the fruit basket that I needed to use I decided it was time to adapt her recipe.

I kept this pie crustless but it is delicious with a crust as well. I’ve made it both ways. If you want to use a crust here is the recipe I use a lot. It is a press in crust. Just press it in the pan, poke it with a fork, and bake as directed in the Pecan Pie Tart recipe. Then add the pears and custard and bake again using the instructions for this recipe.

Without a crust it is as easy as peeling and sliced the pears, mixing the ingredients in a blender and pouring them over the pears. It takes about 10 minutes to prep. Even with the pears, this is still only 9 net carbs per serving. For my Trim Healthy Mama friends, this would be an S Helper since it has a non-S fruit. I think it’s worth the splurge of a few extra carbs.
