Satisfy your sweet tooth with this Eggnog Pie recipe. The creamy and custardy filling is infused with eggnog and spices, and sits atop a flaky pie crust. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients:
Eggs: 6 large, separated
Sugar: 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons
Whole milk: 2 cups
Heavy cream: 1 cup
Nutmeg: 1 teaspoon, freshly grated
Rum or bourbon: 1/2 cup (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Create the Egg Mixture
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar, and milk until well combined.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 10 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they start to form soft peaks.
Add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until the peaks become stiff.
Step 3: Combine and Chill
Gently fold the egg whites into the cooled egg mixture until well combined.
If desired, stir in rum or bourbon for an extra kick of flavor.
Cover the eggnog and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
When ready to serve, give the eggnog a good stir, as the ingredients may have separated.
Pour into glasses and top with a sprinkle of nutmeg for garnish.
Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade eggnog!
This cooked version of eggnog is safe for everyone to enjoy, including children and pregnant women. The addition of rum or bourbon is optional, but it adds a delicious depth of flavor to the drink.
