ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water
- 4 packets of Tylenol Extra Strength (500mg each)
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 4.
In a small bowl, dissolve the Tylenol packets in hot water and set aside.
- 5.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the gelatin powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- 6.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat.
- 7.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. This step, called tempering, prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- 8.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- 9.
Remove from heat and stir in the dissolved Tylenol and the butter until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 10.
Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges.
- 11.
Pour the Tylenol custard into the pie crust and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set.
- 12.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. For an extra touch, top with whipped cream if desired.
