Description

Enjoy the festive taste of the season with this creamy Holiday Eggnog Pie. This rich dessert features a buttery crust filled with a spiced eggnog mixture, making it a perfect addition to your holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup bourbon or rum (optional)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggnog, eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well blended and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated.
  3. If desired, stir in the bourbon or rum for added flavor.
  4. If making a homemade pie crust, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add 3-4 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
  7. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to the pan, trim edges, and crimp if desired.
  9. Prick the bottom with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and parchment, baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Pour the eggnog filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading evenly.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  14. Let the pie cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  15. Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Top with whipped cream if desired.
  16. Sprinkle extra ground nutmeg on top for garnish.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the bourbon or rum.
  • This pie can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for holiday gatherings.
