How to Make Custard Filling the Fiji Way

This method is used in our Fiji Custard Pie Recipe (Island-Style, Authentic)  and reflects the traditional stovetop approach used in Fiji.

Fijian custard is traditionally cooked on the stovetop and poured over a pre-baked base. The key is a smooth, lump-free mixture and steady stirring.

Key Tips

• Always dissolve custard powder in cold milk first
• Use low to medium heat
• Stir constantly to avoid burning
• Stop cooking once thick — overcooking causes separation

This method produces a soft, sliceable custard with a clean vanilla flavor.
