Place pie pan in oven and pour uncooked custard into the shell. Sprinkle top lightly with nutmeg.

Cream pies are so pretty they look like party fare -- yet they are surprisingly easy to make. To make your task even more simple, you can use packaged puddings as a pie filling. Just follow the package directions, and then substitute half Carnation and half water for the milk required. You'll have the creamiest pie you ever tasted -- and you can take your pick of flavors from your grocer's shelves.
