How to Make Peach Custard Pie | Food Wishes

I love peaches! Just bought some. But I love custard, too so I can't wait to make this chess pie which I thought would be too fancy and hard to make, but as always, Chef John makes it easy!

[@deanjacobs1766]

Peaches can not ever have enough peaches

[@nellgwenn]

I confess I've never had an issue with too many peaches in a peach pie. It is my favorite summer pie. I don't disagree with Chef John often, but this is one of those times.

[@annbrookens945]

On the other hand, this still sounds like a delicious pie to make if you are short on peaches!

[@nellgwenn]

@@annbrookens945 Yes if you like custard pies.

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

An easy solution is a good serving of sliced peaches on the side.

Our family had a version We called "peach stuff": combine a cup of flour a little bit of salt in a stick of butter and press it in the bottom of the pan. Cover it with drained canned peaches, a cup of sugar and some cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Then remove and pour on top a half a cup of the peach juice and 1 beaten egg and a can of evaporated milk. Bake for another 30 minutes. Just as good.

This sounds similar to a dolly Parton recipe i think!!! (but I could be totally wrong too, i cant remember😂)... (unless of course you and dolly are in the *same* family and I was actually totally spot on!!😁)

Interesting take on chess pie. We still make my grandmother’s recipe, especially around the holidays. We often serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think that would work just fine here.

I've used your crust recipe for sugar free apple pie and chicken pot pie. It's excellent.

[@codyor4483]

I made this recipe. And although I think the recipe called for 2 peaches, I used 1 more, and made the custard at 1 1/2 times the recipe called for, and the result was excellent. Chef John, you are amazing. This is a really good Pie. And super easy to make.

[@boofbaxley]

Ooh I just made your peaches and cream with our SC peaches. Sublime!

[@Megadextrious]

Ohhhh I’d love to try this with a shortbread cookie crust 🤤 that sounds delicious 😋 I love peaches and peach flavored things. Thanks chef John!

[@BubbaThaumaturge]

I truly love the Summer fruits. Peaches, Nectarines, watermelon, mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, and cantaloupe are just too good to miss. I'd love to see Chef John pickle each of these wonderful kisses of sunshine. Especially Mangoes. They don't get enough appreciation.

[@lynnrogers9236]

Ooh...brunch perfection! Thanks Chef John

[@craigplainfield6662]

If you don't have pie weights pennies work great. They conduct the heat to the crust and help with the browning. And speaking of evenly spaced that would describe me in the 70's.

[@whalhoward1970]

This Georgia boy approves of all forms of pies with peaches. Peaches would probably be good in a Buttermilk Pie also.

[@wheatgerm1208]

Chess pie is a personal favorite of mine. Easy to make, needs no mixer, and all the ingredients are usually on hand. The peaches are a nice variation, but don't neglect to try the pie without them. If you've never had chess pie, with or without lemon juice added, you've missed a treat.

[@jgg75]

I have no idea how John does it, but even though I hate peaches, this actually looks good to me...

[@Kanou1995]

This is my first fail for a pie. I was so excited to bake it. My son bought fresh peaches on the same day that I watched the video. Obvousily I missread the recipe. As I was doing my mise en place, I read 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of white sugar. so when all my ingredients were ready. I started the mixing. adding my white vinegar to the mix. bake the pie. let it rest in the fridge and served it after diner. My son said what the heck. what have you put in it. tasting like vinegar. So i tested it. Beurk what a fail. Next time I will take my time to read carefully the recipe. I will have to try again. Lesson learned Thank you Chef John.

[@JaneJones-lg3bd]

Yep! Gotta let that pie cool really well!

[@femalism1715]

[@davidcarbone3385]

If I were to use a frozen, ready made pie crust, should I still use the weights and pre-bake the crust? The peaches ended up at top of the pie. If were to. cut the pieces smaller, would they settle throughout the pie or still rise up to the top?

[@karenroot450]

Yes do pre-bake that crust. 😀

[@karenroot450]

The peaches will rise to the top. If u use too many peaches your pie won’t set up firmly. Too much moisture from the peaches. You could always heat up some extra slices of peaches and brown sugar ( and spices if u want). Cook on the stove top and then chill this extra peachy goodness in the fridge while the pie cools down. Good luck! This looks SO Delicious!

[@davidcarbone3385]

@@karenroot450 Thanks! And, if I used the same exact amount of peaches but cut them smaller, I imagine they'd rise up to the top like the Chef's larger cut pieces.

since the base pie here is chess pie, not peach pie, it's worth a shot. I can't see it working poorly unless you happen to dislike the fruit you chose.

Looks tasty. I’d say skin on and score the skin so it is easy to take bites of, the skin adds a unique flavor element to the peach.

This really makes me wish I liked custard.

Gotta remind myself that Chef John is a professional chef. Do not try imitating his cutting style or it won’t be only the peaches that get cut 😅

I have a peach tree in my front yard, peaches ftw

[@dianathomas675]

Question. You said “once your fruit sets”. What does that mean? Thanks love your videos.

[@saltycrow]

Let the pie cool. Then it will be “set”. If baked correctly. If it isn’t set set and you cut a piece out. The rest of that custardy, hot pie will turn into runny goo in your pie pan. So just let it cool completely. The custard will firm up. It probably also does taste better cold. At least that’s my guess.

[@dianathomas675]

@@saltycrow Thanks. I’m going to have to listen to it again. When he said it he had just cut the peaches so that might be why I missed that he was talking about after baking.

[@Lawman212]

Chef John, my mom has been making this pie since the early '60's when she learned how to do it from her neighbor, the elderly Mrs. Billard, in Richmond, Virginia. However, she doesn't use corn meal. I can't imagine what kind of texture that would impart. Is it gritty? Or does it soften like polenta? Also, lemon juice is probably better than vinegar because it blends with the peach flavor better. Finally, Mrs. Billard used nutmeg also in the batter.

[@Camelfied]

Yes! I've looked up 5 similar recipes and NONE use cornmeal. WHY THE CORNMEAL? I need to know before I make this today. Someone please respond.

Try canned peaches, maybe? They should be cheaper than fresh. Plums, nectarines, and apricots will probably work, too.
