For an extra creamy texture, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. Scalding the milk is crucial for achieving the right consistency. It helps to dissolve the sugar and thicken the custard. Don't overbake the pie, or the custard will crack. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you remove it from the oven.
