Any tips on thickening a custard pie?

I’m on a quest to perfect my custard pie, but I keep running into a bit of an issue—it’s always too soft. Does anyone have some foolproof methods or ingredients to help thicken it up a bit? I’d really appreciate your expertise!

For a thicker custard pie, try adding a bit more egg yolk to your recipe—eggs are great for setting. You can also mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour with your sugar to help it firm up as it bakes. Make sure to cook it low and slow to avoid curdling. Let it cool completely before serving; it’ll continue to firm up as it sets. Hope this helps!

Try adding a thickening agent like gelatin to thicken a custard pie. Dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of hot liquid and stir it into the custard mixture. Use about 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin per cup of custard.
