Ingredients

• 1 cup Raisins
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Pre-baked pie crust
• 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raisins and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set it aside.

Step 2

In a separate medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, continuing to stir.

Step 4

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly drizzle about half a cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper them. Then, pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and stir well.

Step 5

Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is creamy and thickened.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Drain the raisins from the water and fold them into the custard mixture.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread it out evenly. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or until fully set.

Step 9

Once chilled, top the pie with whipped cream and serve. Slice and enjoy!
