How to Set Custard Without Baking

This method is used in our Fiji Custard Pie Recipe (Island-Style, Authentic) and relies on stovetop thickening rather than oven baking.

Custard is cooked gently until thick, then poured over a pre-baked base and allowed to set naturally as it cools.

Key Tips

• Cook custard fully before pouring
• Pour while hot for even setting
• Do not refrigerate immediately
• Allow room-temperature cooling first

Common Mistakes

• Undercooking the custard
• Moving the pie before it sets

This method produces a smooth, sliceable custard without cracking or curdling.
