Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made (9-inch) or homemade crust Graham cracker crust
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Eggnog
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (for topping, optional) Whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoon (for garnish, optional) Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, eggnog, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until it begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Slowly drizzle about 1/2 cup of the hot eggnog mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan while whisking continuously.
Cook the mixture for another 2–3 minutes over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it becomes thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Pour the custard filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or additional nutmeg, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Fantastic Creamy Eggnog Pie!
