Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 5 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
• 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
• 1 (15 ounce) package prepared 9-inch pie crusts
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 9-inch pie plates with pie crusts.

Step 2

Parbake the crusts in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine sugar, flour, and orange zest in a mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, beaten eggs, orange blossom water, and vanilla.

Step 4

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix into the buttermilk filling until well incorporated.

Step 5

Bake pies in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow the pies to cool and refrigerate until firm, 8 hours to overnight. Serve chilled for best flavor.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/4 cup white chocolate chips over the bottom of each pie crust. Divide the filling between the crusts. Sprinkle the tops lightly with cinnamon. Cover edges with foil so crusts don't burn.
