Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, putting them into two large bowls. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. In the bowl with the yolks, mix in the brown sugar, butter, flour, and milk until everything is well combined. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate them. Pour this batter into your prepared pie crust. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top has a nice golden color. Let it cool a bit before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dessert offers a perfect balance between the rich, buttery caramel and the light, airy sponge crust. Its smooth texture combined with a subtle sweetness makes it a treat that satisfies without feeling too heavy.
How to serve
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the creamy caramel flavor. Fresh berries or a sprinkle of toasted nuts can add a nice contrast in texture and taste.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the best texture, bring to room temperature before serving or warm slightly in the oven.
