Why Blind Bake Pie Crust A partially blind baked pie crust will help keep the bottom pie crust from becoming soggy. If you’ve ever watched the Great British Baking Show, you’ve probably frequently heard the phrase “soggy bottom”. 
When you add very wet fillings like quiche fillings or even some fruit fillings, the bottom pie crust can become over-saturated and “soggy”. Partially blind baking the bottom crust can help prevent that. 
When it comes to custard pies, like Coconut Cream Pie, the filling is cooked separately from the crust. In cases like that, you’d want to fully blind bake your pie crust. Meaning,  you completely cook the crust without any filling.
