Bon Appetit shares recipe for salted coffee custard pie with oatmeal crust

Bon Appetit published a recipe for a salted coffee custard pie that combines the richness of coffee with a buttery oatmeal cookie crust. The crust is notable for requiring no pie weights during prebaking, simplifying the process.

The pie filling is a silky, sliceable custard made with two kinds of coffee, including cold-brew concentrate, which the recipe emphasizes as essential for the right strength and consistency. Mascarpone is used in the whipped cream topping to keep it firm and fluffy for up to 24 hours.

The oatmeal crust is made by pulsing oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor before adding melted butter. It is pressed firmly into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and prebaked to prevent sogginess.

Bon Appetit also invites bakers to join their Bake Club community for monthly recipes, discussions, and podcasts that explore baking techniques and recipes in depth.
