Prep Time 15 minutes

Chill Time 5 hours 20 minutes

Total Time 5 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 1 cup eggnog
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping (optional):

• Whipped cream
• Extra nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggnog, sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and cinnamon over medium heat.
4. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot eggnog mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
6. Then, pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until fully thickened.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
8. Pour the eggnog filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
9. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
11. Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

• Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover tightly to keep the filling fresh.
• Crust Options: Use a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time or try a gingersnap crust for extra holiday flavor.
• Make It Boozy: Add a tablespoon of rum or bourbon to the filling for an adults-only twist.
• Thicker Filling: For a firmer filling, reduce the eggnog by 1/4 cup.
