Custard Peach Pie is sweet, creamy, and oh so delicious! We make it with creamy custard, fresh or canned peaches, and top it with crumb topping.
Custard Peach Pie
Are you excited for peach season? I know I am. Fresh peaches will be available soon so, and I have been sharing my favorite peach recipes. My comforting Peach Cobbler is wonderful but, if you are a fan of peaches and cream, make this Custard Peach Pie. You will LOVE it!

I spotted a peach pie recipe over on Christina’s blog, and I knew it was a MUST make. I changed up a few things, but I am so glad I tried her recipe. It was obvious that peaches and custard filling would be super tasty!
I start with a store bought crust for my Custard Peach Pie. Since I had a few frozen crusts taking up freezer space, it worked best for me. If you make this pie, consider making my 4 Ingredient Pie Crust.
Fresh peaches are not available yet here in Ohio. I had purchased a bunch of canned peaches, and I used them. You can make this Peach Pie with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, whichever you choose.
For the Peach Pie Filling, we make a creamy custard. Buy two of the small peach flavored yogurt containers. If you can not locate flavored, you can also use vanilla or plain. I like the peach best because it gives a bit more flavor.
Ingredients to Make Peach Custard Pie
- Homemade or store-bought Pie Crust
- Fresh, frozen, or canned peaches
- Peach Yogurt
- Eggs
- Butter
- Flour
- Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla
Recipe for Peach Pie with Custard
First, you will need to prebake your pie crust for about 5-10 minutes. I poke a few holes with a fork to allow the steam to release. This process (docking) keeps it from bubbling and cook more evenly.
Next, in a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
Then, add the yogurt, sugar, flour, and vanilla. Whisk the mixture until smooth.
Now, drain and pat dry the peach slices and place them into the bottom of the prepared pie crust. If you plan to use fresh peaches, you will need to peel and slice about six medium peaches.
Pour the custard mix over the pie peaches.
Then, bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and add a pie shield. If you do not have one on hand, use foil to cover around the crust.
Now, bake for another 15 minutes. Then, in a small bowl, add the brown sugar, flour, and butter cut into small pieces. Use two forks or a pastry cutter to cut in the butter pieces.
Add the streusel topping and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes or so. You will want to watch for the custard to be just slightly jiggly before removing from the oven.
This homemade pie is tasty warm, or cold. Go ahead and serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped topping.
Can I Freeze Custard Peach Pie?
For sure, you can! The second time I made it, I froze it. I removed from the freezer and allowed to defrost before serving, which was a couple of hours.

It looks like such a a lovely summer recipe Jen.
Thank you for sharing your custard peach pie recipe at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring it at tonight’s party and pinning as well.

Do you have to have yogurt? Why do you have yogurt as an ingredient? Looks and sounds great other than that.
This looks amazing! I’ve never thought to make peach pie with a custard base. YUM! I’ll be featuring this today at Thursday Favorite Things, starting at 10:00 CST. :)

I made this this receipe to die
for still hot but eat it anyway thank you
I make this pie every summer. It is so delicious. I share it with my neighbors and friends. It turns out great every time. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
HI Barbara! It’s just about peach season and my family thinks this is the BEST Peach Pie. I just bought quite a few peaches to make this pie along with some new exciting peach recipes to add to the blog. They should be released later this week. I hope you give those a try too!. Thanks much for your review, it helps other readers. Have a great weekend!
I’m interested in making the peach cream pie ,can you tell me if the 6oz yougart is all you need or x2? Thank you regards from Malta
I was so excited about this pie and I just couldn’t get the custard to set 😭 I used all of the full cook times and an extra 5-10 min at the end to try to get it to set up a bit. After chilling in the fridge for six hours it still isn’t set. Any ideas on what went wrong? I want to try again because clearly many have had success! 😊
Ok, what did I do wrong? When I prebaked the crust it shrunk down the sides. Thanks for any help.
How many fresh peaches (or cups of)would you use ?
I’ve made this with both peaches and also with strawberries. It’s so good. My family has forbidden to buy store bought pies from here on out.
Oh, MY Crystal! A Strawberry version sounds wonderful. I think I will make one this weekend. I am glad your family is enjoying the pie recipe.
Did you use fresh or frozen strawberriesand how much?
This is the best peach custard I’ve ever had! I used the Dannon Light and Fit peach yogurt with fruit on the bottom and it was so good and peachy! I used my own pie crust recipe and used two and a half cans of Kroger brand peaches (which I thought was better than Del Monte). You really need to watch the crust as it will burn easily. I have a silicone rim that I used on mine as I’ve never had much luck using foil. My husband thought it was absolutely delicious but did make a suggestion that I might try and see how it works: he suggested that I cut the peaches bite-size so you wouldn’t get a whole peach slice in each bite. Outstanding recipe…thank you for sharing and adding one more recipe to my fruit pies!
I’m not normally a pie baker but this could be the recipe that changes my mind.
Easy and delicious. I made 3 pies to deliver to my family. Self-distancing of course!
Has anyone tried this with apricots?
Our good friend Jeanne used to make something similar with fresh pears. She doesn’t bake any more so we don’t get to eat her great desserts any more. – Margy
I am drooling. I see fresh summer peaches and custard pie in my future.
I’ve never had custard peach pie and it looks melt in your mouth good! Pinned.
This is the first pie I have ever baked and it tasted fab, I surprised myself. The custard I think made a real difference and really added flavour. I think I could have cut down on the recommended baking times as the streusel burned a bit but all in all quite satisfied,I will be making this again
I haven’t made this yet, but it is on my weekend treat. (after I safely wear my mask and go to the store on elderly hour) It looks very very good. Although I love to cook and bake fun foods, I also look for some easy things to make. This one looks pretty easy. Thanks for the recipe. Can’t wait to try it, I have a feeling it’s going to be a new dessert in our home.
I cannot thank you enough for giving me credit for the original recipe! This is how recipe sharing should be done, thank you! And your photos look brilliant! So happy you enjoyed the pie and are sharing with others!
