For the crust
- 1 gluten free pie crust (9-inch), unbaked

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the gluten free pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind-bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are set and just beginning to color. Remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes, until the bottom looks dry and pale golden. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C).

Combine the whole milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and warm until steaming and small bubbles appear around the edges, about 4–5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from the heat.
