Giddy?
Have you every heard of Buttermilk Pie?
It sounds gross but is very good and similar to Custard pie.
Inexpensive to make too.
I posted a recipe for you.

I haven't tried this but I got this from google and it sounds easy to make.

Restaurant Style Egg Custard Pie

4 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons butter

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk and butter. Use a wire whisk and stir constantly until the milk begins to rise in the saucepan at a rapid boil - 5 to 8 minutes. NEVER stop stirring, or the milk will burn. Pour the hot mixture into the egg mixture, stirring as you pour.
Line a 9 inch pan with dough. Pour custard mixture into crust. Protect the edges of crust with a ring of aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Filling will appear slightly jiggly. Allow to cool
