Custard pie without fuss, Member napito

I like the recipe because it proves you can make a nice custard pie without the fuss of stove top heating, stirring or a water bath. I give it 4 stars; the last star I keep for myself because I knew to pre-bake the crust to get it dry and firm to withstand the weeping. The disaster the first time was my fault: I forgot the baking sheet. When I did it over on a baking sheet it came out great. I added a half teaspoon of nutmeg to the mix because my family covers every desert with whipped cream.
