Custard Tart
"Light yummy dessert. I usually use low fat milk. When using a preprepared shell, I find these to be rather sweet for my taste but makes for quick easy making. My personal preference is to make a half batch of my recipe #177343 and use."

This reminds me of the pie my grandmother used to make. Very good, and so easy! And not too sweet. I am going to make again, but will add nutmeg to filling instead of just sprinkling on top. We love our nutmeg! :) -
So easy to make, so delicious and, for us, just the right amount of sweetness. Such a bonus that it's relatively low fat too! :) I'll be making this again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

dh and i had this for before dinner tonight. It was supose to be desert but it didn't get that far :) I will be making this again very easy desert. Made for RECIPE SWAP #32 - September 2009 -
Nice, quick, easy recipe. Doesn't quite have the perfect texture of the "melkterts" I am used to but still good. I had to bake mine almost twice as long as the time specified in the recipe. Doubled the vanilla, and added some extra sugar based on KittenCal's review, but I didn't think it needed it. -
This is a nice pie/tart. I made this using Splenda instead of sugar, and used lactose free skim milk. I really like the fact that as with many custard pies, you don't have to scald the milk first. This makes for quick and easy preparation. I did increase the vanilla to 2 tsps as well. This was absolutely delicious, and wonderful treat I can eat in my dietary limitations! Thanks Pat! I will make this often I'm sure! Made for Every Day is a Holiday

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
