Print Recipe

Condensed milk custard filo pie is a delectable dessert featuring a rich, creamy custard made from condensed milk encased in crisp, golden filo pastry layers. This easy-to-make pie balances smooth, sweet custard with flaky, buttery pastry for a delightful treat that can be served warm or cold, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the filo pastry crust

  • 8–10 filo pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing

For the custard filling

  • 1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filo pastry: Thaw the filo sheets if frozen and keep them covered with a clean, damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out. Gently brush each sheet with melted butter and layer them evenly in your pie dish to form a sturdy yet flaky crust.
  2. Make the custard filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired for extra warmth.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layered filo base. Top with a few more filo sheets brushed with melted butter to fully encase the filling. Carefully tuck in the edges to prevent leakage and maintain the shape.
  4. Bake until golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filo pastry is crisp and golden brown and the custard is set but still tender. Watch closely near the end to avoid over-browning.

Notes

  • Keep filo sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Use melted butter (not oil) for brushing to achieve a richer, flakier crust.
  • Whisk custard ingredients just until combined to avoid excess air bubbles.
  • Use a glass or ceramic pie dish for even cooking and to prevent burning the filo underside.
  • Allow pie to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing so custard firms up nicely.
